Introduction 
The third college was established in Shanghai in collaboration with Fudan University in August 2003 and took in its first batch of 8 students in January 2004. Shanghai was chosen as it is one of China's leading entrepreneurial and academic hubs.
The NUS College in Shanghai (NCS) programme takes advantage of the unique opportunities available at Shanghai and students will be immersed in an environment surrounded by the comprehensive scientific, industrial and financial development of Shanghai and the Yangtze River delta region. Moreover, Singapore and Singapore-affiliated companies have significant investments and partnerships in Shanghai and the surrounding areas.
NCS will be able to play a major role in nurturing these students who can be the group the Singapore government is seeking to engage China in the future. These students will be familiar with the Chinese business environment and also have an in-depth knowledge of the Chinese language, culture and history. Another 13 students have already embarked on the NCS programme in July 2004 and at a steady state, there will be a total of 100 students at NCS interning with companies in Shanghai.
