Highlights of Skills & Competencies
Unique Learning Experiences
Data hackathon with Honeywell Tridium
Analysing past data enables targeted energy optimization by identifying patterns, inefficiencies, and automation opportunities. HLFM Year 2 students receiving guidance from Building Management System (BMS) experts and lecturers, learned N4 programming, utilized industry tools, and developed innovative solutions to make buildings smarter.
Collaborations with the Tridium Niagara Framework provided valuable insights into data-driven energy efficiency and sustainable building management through hands-on learning and brainstorming. Interactions with industry partners in China further enriched their understanding of current practices and emerging trends, strengthening their knowledge of sustainable, data-driven building management.
Specialised Overseas Immersion Programme
As part of their Specialised Overseas Immersion Progamme, second-year HLFM students visited the MTower by Mapletree China and one of Asia’s largest malls, Wushang DREAM Plaza, to gain insights into facilities management in fast-developing cities like Wuhan.
Gaining New Perspectives
“The NP-NUS Pathway was an eye-opening experience. I dove into topics like project management law and advanced Building Information Modelling (BIM). The in-depth insights combined modelling with theory in a way that clicked! All the pieces came together and gave me a whole new perspective on facilities management.”
Ho Min Xuan
Third-year HLFM student pursuing the NP-NUS Pathway
Deepening Industry Exposure
“With my interest in the hotel industry, the one-year industry immersion programme perfect was for me. The course prepared me well for my role as a Front Office Intern, and I was already familiar with the digital systems for check-ins and payments. Having a longer internship gave me the opportunity to take on more responsibilities and develop a fuller understanding of hotel operations.”

Final-year student and Front Office intern at Marriott Tangs Plaza Singapore
