We can also introduce them to the various admissions exercises (EAE, PFP, JAE), how poly students learn, progression to universities, and career opportunities upon graduation, among others.

This is not possible. Once a student has accepted the EAE offer and met the admissions criteria for the polytechnic course, he will not be able to switch to another course within or across polytechnics.

EAE is targeted at students who are interested in a particular course, and admission is based on the student’s suitability. If your students are still discovering and/or developing their strengths and interests, they can apply through the JAE.

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.
