At NP, we believe that in order to provide each and every student with a fruitful educational experience, it is vital that students are able to handle the academic rigour of our courses. As a result, students must meet the entry requirements in order to be considered for our courses.

In general, students considering the 3-year full-time diploma courses should have obtained at least 5 credits in their relevant subjects in their GCE ‘O’ Level examination or equivalent high school examinations.

If you are interested in a Business-related course, it would be advantageous if you have obtained good grades for English, Mathematics, a Humanities subject and two other best subjects. Should your preference be for a Technology or Engineering-related course, good grades for English, Mathematics, a relevant Science subject and two other subjects would be favourable . For Design-related courses, your results should include good grades in English, Mathematics, a relevant Science/Art subject and two other subjects.

Applicants using international qualifications (Cambridge 'O' level-equivalent / the public examination taken upon graduation at high school level or entrance examination to the university) who have scored 'A's and 'B's or above 75% for all core subjects would stand a higher chance of being shortlisted.
