The Straits Times rounds up the new offerings by the five polytechnics here.
NGEE ANN POLYTECHNIC
Under the Go Flex initiative, Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) has a slew of new programmes to provide its students with more flexibility to customise their learning.
One such programme is the double major option, which allows selected students from five diploma courses in the School of Engineering and School of InfoComm Technology to pursue a second major in business.
For the inaugural cohort, 25 students will complete an additional nine modules delivered by the School of Business and Accountancy during their second and third years.
In the University Pathway Programme, students can read modules from selected local universities during the final semester of their diploma course.
The polytechnic is also adding NUS and SMU to the list of partner universities that let students earn fast-track access to a bachelor's degree and offer them opportunities to work on projects with university professors.
This addition comes after NP's pilot with the Singapore University of Technology and Design.
In another new initiative, final-year students can participate in a one-year industry immersion programme. Depending on their course, students will either embark on a one-year internship or work on year-long real-world projects that are co-supervised by industry practitioners.
In addition, the School of Film and Media Studies has launched a new collaborative space for its students, with discussion pods and media production facilities.
It has also updated its mass communication course curriculum to feature generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and tools.
