Drawn to hands-on learning and NP's Minor Programme
"I’ve always been interested in business and was drawn by the hands-on learning opportunities at NP. EAE-ing into the Common Business Programme gave me more time to choose my diploma, and I am now set on pursuing the Diploma in Business Studies! I am also taking learning units in Applied Psychology under NP’s Personalised Learning Pathway Programme to broaden my learning."

Equipped for a future in architecture
"Having pursued a NITEC in Architectural Technology, enrolling in NP’s Diploma in Design and specialising in Architecture allowed me to further my passion. The course broadened my perspective and gave me the chance to participate in overseas competitions. I look forward to pursuing an architecture degree before embarking on a career as a Building Information Modelling (BIM) Modeller."

NP sharpened my medical skills
"My passion for Nursing was first ignited during my post-secondary gap year in the service industry. This led me to pursue Nitec in Nursing before enrolling in NP’s Diploma of Nursing to deepen my medical knowledge. I am currently part of the Singapore Nursing Chapter while actively engaging in Youth Corps Expedition Projects and going on overseas volunteer trips. With my skills and knowledge, I aspire to be an Advanced Practice Nurse and serve underserved communities in less developed countries."
