Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT)

SIT was established by the Ministry of Education in 2009 to provide upgrading opportunities primarily for polytechnic graduates. It does this by partnering renowned overseas universities and the five local polytechnics to offer industry-focused degree programmes targeted at growth sectors of the economy.

These degrees are ‘campus-blind’, meaning that students are conferred with the same degree as their counterparts at the home universities. As such, all SIT students are required to go on an overseas immersion programme (3 to 6 weeks) at their respective overseas university home campus

SIT’s unique ‘distributed campus’ model means it is developing its own campus buildings within each of the five polytechnics and also a HQ campus. SIT is also working towards becoming a university and issuing its own degrees. To know more about the courses that are being offered, click on the information fact sheets below

The University Scholars Programme (USP) is an interdisciplinary academic programme for NUS undergraduates.

USP admits 180 students each year, and offers the freedom to explore across disciplines, a wide range of extracurricular and overseas opportunities, and a community of exceptionally motivated and talented students.

USP provides an environment for exploration, collaboration, and creative discovery. Its unique modules are designed to develop interdisciplinary thinking. Learning extends beyond the classroom through a wide range of research, internship, community involvement, and study abroad opportunities. USP aims to produce graduates with the intellectual rigour, initiative, and innovational spirit to make significant contributions to society.

USP is an honours programme. Students admitted to USP are concurrently enrolled in one of six faculties or schools – Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Computing, Design and Environment, Engineering, and Science. They earn 30% of their academic credits in USP, and 70% in their home faculty or school.

Students apply to join USP. Application is by transcript, essay, and interview with USP professors. Students are admitted based on their academic potential and co-curricular achievements, together with their passion, motivation, and curiosity.

USP is not a scholarship disbursement programme. USP students may however apply for NUS scholarships, or can be recipients of other scholarships.

Upon successful completion of USP requirements and an honours programme, USP students graduate with an honours degree from their faculty or school, and a certificate that recognises them as University Scholars.

Disruption from full-time National Service for full-time studies

Disruption from full-time NS affects both the operational readiness of the unit and the individual. For this reason, disruption is a concession that can only be considered on the basis of equity to allow those from the same school cohort but enlisted in the later intake, to proceed for further studies at the same time as those enlisted in the earlier intake.

In general, NSFs from the same polytechnic diploma cohort are enlisted in either the Jun quarterly intake (earlier intake) or Sep quarterly intake (later intake). The scheduling of the NS enlistment intakes and MINDEF's disruption policy take into account the fact that most Polytechnic students graduate in Apr, and will ORD in the 2nd half of the calendar year. For example, a Polytechnic graduate who enlisted in the earlier intake in Jun 12 will ORD in time to commence university at NUS, NTU or SMU in Aug 14. Another Polytechnic graduate who enlisted in the later intake in Sep 12 will be eligible for disruption from NS so that he may commence studies at NUS, NTU or SMU in Aug 14, at the same time as his peer who was enlisted earlier in Jun 12. The minority of students who graduate from polytechnic after Apr (e.g. due to repeat of modules, or due to the structure of their academic term), and who are enlisted after the Sep quarterly intake, will not be granted disruption from NS to commence university at NUS, NTU or SMU together with their peers who enlisted earlier, but can continue with their degree studies at these institutions after their ORD.

You may visit the NS Portal (www.ns.sg) for more information on disruption from full-time NS for full-time studies.
