Applied Learning - The Polytechnic Way
 |
|
Advanced Elective Modules (AEMs) are 40-hour courses in applied topics conducted by NP’s lecturers. Geared towards enhancing the learning experience of students, they feature a higher practical component and more group projects than what students will usually learn from schools. Students taking these AEMs may participate in field trips, hands-on projects, discussions with industry practitioners and various challenging competitions to test their newfound knowledge and skills. AEMs are reflected in the School Holistic Report Card and may be considered for polytechnic admission under the Joint Polytechnic Special Admissions Exercise (JPSAE) and the Direct Polytechnic Admission (DPA) Exercise. |
