What You Will Learn

Gain essential skills and knowledge to prepare you for your diploma journey.

Starting from 2026, the Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP) offers even Greater Possibilities with cluster-based admissions! Instead of committing to a specific diploma right after your GCE N(A)-Level exams, you’ll join one of three broad clusters—giving you time to explore your interests before selecting your diploma at the end of your PFP year. 

After passing the PFP year, you will be posted to a specific polytechnic Year 1 course within the cluster. Posting will be based on merit and course choice.
