The National University of Singapore – NUS was formed with the merger of the University of Singapore and Nanyang University in 1980. This was done in part due to the government's desire to pool the two institutions' resources into a single, stronger entity, and promote the English language as Singapore's only main language. The original crest of National University of Singapore – NUS with three intertwined rings was incorporated into the new coat-of-arms of NUS. The merger of the two universities was met with strong opposition from the Nanyang University's alumni in particular, as well as the Chinese community. They considered Nanyang University a people's university due to their financial contributions in establishing and maintaining it. The Chinese community also believed the university to be a bastion of Chinese education, culture, and social development. Since inception till its dissolution, Nanyang University was the only tertiary institute outside of China and Taiwan offering education in Mandarin Chinese.

In November, 2005, National University of Singapore – NUS announced plans to develop the "University Town" on a 190,000 m² site of the former Warren Golf Course, opposite the existing Kent Ridge Campus and NUS High School. Eight Residential Colleges, which will provide "rich educational experiences" and cultivate "deep social bonds" as well as two Graduate Residences will be built. In all, the National University of Singapore – NUS Town will accommodate 6,000 students. A vehicular-cum-pedestrian bridge spanning over the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) will connect both campuses seamlessly. Construction began in 2007.
