Nanyang University

Nanyang University (Chinese: 南洋大学; pinyin: Nányáng Dàxué, also known as Nantah (Chinese: 南大; pinyin: Nándà), was a university in Singapore between 1956 and 1980. During its existence, it was Singapore's only private university in the Chinese language. In 1980, Nanyang University was merged with the University of Singapore to form the National University of Singapore (NUS). It was only until 2005 that another private school in Singapore, SIM University, was established.
