Programme Curriculum
Our courses are grouped into three domain clusters in NP's Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP); namely Science, Technology and Non-Science & Technology.
NP domain clusters in Science and Technology admit students from NP courses under the PFP Group 1.
NP domain cluster in non-Science & Technology mainly admit students from NP courses under the PFP Group 2. This is with the exception of the courses under School of Design & Environment, belonging to PFP Group 1.
During the Programme, you will undertake academic modules such as English, Mathematics and domain-specific cluster modules and non-academic modules such as life skills, general education and national education. These are taught over 30 weeks.
The curriculum structure for the three domain clusters is shown in the table below.
