Hear from our student
My time at RP was more than just education. It was a journey to becoming the greater me. A spark in Polytechnic Foundation Programme ignited my passion for IT, and coding challenges taught me to think out of the box. With hands-on projects and leadership opportunities, I grew far beyond the classroom. I entered as a quiet student, but I graduated confident, capable, and ready for what’s next, all thanks to the transformative journey at RP— Ng Jing Xuan, 2025 Graduate
