Growing through our journey

First established in 2002, Republic Polytechnic (RP) started its journey as the youngest polytechnic in Singapore with an initial enrolment of just 800. Over the years, RP has grown from strength to strength building our reputation as a tertiary institution of academic excellence. Today, we are home to a lively community of about 14,000 students and more than 60,000 alumni.

Greater Purpose

Our approach to education and personal development is anchored in facilitating the discovery of purpose. Our GreaterMe educational framework aligns the student’s goals, strengths and passion, with their academic journey.

In doing so, we enable students to realise their potential for future success throughout the different stages of their lives, long after they graduate.

Greater Possibilities

We offer a collaborative environment where students and staff can explore, innovate and create new possibilities for emerging challenges from advancing technology in a volatile world.

By fostering a culture of creativity, critical thinking, and resilience, we ensure that graduates are not just prepared for the workforce but become leaders and innovators in their own right; adept at navigating change.

Greater Impact

Ultimately, we believe that success in life transcends academic or individualistic achievements but rather is about making a positive difference to the world and people around us.

We strongly believe that our graduates will become purposeful in their pursuit of future success – creating value for themselves, for Singapore and the world we live in.

Become Greater

At the heart of our transformation are our students, alumni and staff who embody the RP identity of becoming#GreaterMe- always striving to make a difference in the communities they live, work and play in.
