STUDENT DEVELOPMENT:
Start by helping your students discover their interests and aspirations. Encourage them to attend school programmes and events offered by the polys.
Poly education focuses heavily on practice-based learning and hands-on training, so it is important for students to be comfortable with such a learning style.
All polytechnics adopt the GPA system for grading, so your students need to be disciplined to maintain a consistent GPA throughout their three years of study.
NP aims to cultivate the following three hallmarks in all our graduates – a passionate learner, a big-hearted person and a global-smart professional.
Find more about NP
here.
A poly education is about applying what is learnt in the classroom to real-world situations. NP students are exposed to various applied and experiential learning approaches that are technology-enabled.
Besides lectures, tutorials and workshops, students will take part in industry-based projects and workplace internships. Ranging from six weeks to six months, these internships allow students to put their learning into practice.
Yes. The overseas exposure could be an internship, immersion, exchange programme or community service trip.
