To help you develop your confidence and ability to tackle and overcome everyday problems, we limit our class sizes to 25 students. That way, you can interact comfortably with your lecturers, benefit from personalised feedback and be fully equipped to keep up with your course work.

Practical Training Even before you graduate, we prepare you for the challenges of the real world. As part of your curriculum, you will undergo a 16 to 24 weeks of industry internship, depending on your diploma programme.

While on your internship, you will get a taste of your dream career, discover the various career paths open to you and gain practical work experience and transferable skills. It is also a prime opportunity for you to observe industry best practices, cultivate good work ethics, network with industry experts, and build your portfolio in the process.

Technology-based Learning Environment In keeping with today’s digital world, we put technology at the centre of our students’ learning.

With wireless Internet access throughout the school campus, staying in touch with your team members and collaborating online for group projects is a breeze.

Going Global with RP At RP, we want to nurture our students as global citizens. That is why we regularly organise a variety of study trips to Asia and beyond.

On top of that, through our Student Overseas Trips programme, you can explore the world and discover new places to further your studies or pursue your career. Many RP students who have participated in the programme have visited countries such as Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia. All of them returned with a new perspective, a greater awareness and understanding of the world and a global mindset – all essential attributes coveted by leading employers in the modern workplace.

Further Studies Pathways If you plan to further your studies after graduation, every diploma programme at RP leads to a relevant degree with top universities located in Singapore, Australia, the UK, or Europe. In fact, many RP graduates have pursued further studies at top universities and attained merit achievements, a place on the Dean’s List and other awards.

In many cases, RP diplomas are recognised to be equivalent to first-year undergraduate degrees in their respective fields of study. That means you can transfer your credits and complete your degree in just two years, or three years for a four-year degree programme.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION Modular Structure The tiered architecture in RP’s modular curriculum allows students to take modules in the following categories: • General modules help develop flexible broad- based competencies such as cognitive skills, communication skills, knowledge of organisational behaviour, and other 21st century competencies.

•

Discipline modules focus on the foundational underpinning of a chosen field of study by developing competencies and knowledge in the discipline.

• Specialisation modules are designed for domain-specific training and to deepen the understanding of the chosen specialisation.

Assessment and Graduation Criteria Students generally undertake five modules in an academic semester. During each semester, there are continuous and summative assessments of student learning outcomes. In a typical module, lecturers will assess students on a daily basis, taking into account what they have learnt, how they have engaged in their learning and how they have contributed to collaborative learning.

To meet the graduation requirement, students must achieve the total number of modular credits as stipulated in each Diploma Programme’s Graduation Criteria. Students should complete their diploma programme within three years of enrolment.

• Elective modules are designed to complement the knowledge base and skills in the discipline.

• Freely chosen modules allow students to pursue peripheral interests other than their chosen field of study.

MOE Tuition Grant Scheme To subsidise the high cost of tertiary education in Singapore, the Ministry of Education of Singapore (MOE) hands out tuition grants to eligible students on a yearly basis. The Tuition Grant Scheme provides for a maximum of ten (10) semesters of tertiary education.

In order to enjoy the subsidised tuition fee, all RP students must complete the Tuition Grant Application Form during enrolment. Non-Singaporean students (Singapore Permanent Resident and International Student) must also sign a Tuition Grant Agreement by which they will be contractually obliged to work in Singapore for a minimum period of three (3) years upon graduation. In the event that the tuition grant cannot be executed successfully under exceptional circumstances, the non-subsidised fee is chargeable over the student’s three-year course of study in Republic Polytechnic. Permanent Residents and International Students can log into the TGOnline System at tgonline.moe.gov.sg to view their prevailing Tuition Grant amounts after the online application for the Tuition Grant Scheme is closed.

For further enquiries on the Tuition Grant Scheme, please refer to MOE’s website for a list of Frequently Asked Questions at tgonline.moe.gov.sg, you may also email MOE Officers at MOE_tgonline@moe.gov.sg

This is part of the Government’s efforts to encourage every Singaporean to complete their post-secondary education. It also underscores the Government’s commitment to support families who are investing in the future education of their children, and to prepare them for the economy of the future. The PSEA is not a bank account. It is administered by the Ministry of Education and is set up automatically for all eligible Singaporeans.

For enquiries on the PSE scheme, you can contact MOE at (65) 6260 0777, email contact@moe.edu.sg or visit www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/post-secondary-education-account 3.

For students who have applied for the PSEA (Standing Order) and CPF Education Scheme, please note that deductions will be made from the PSEA first. In the event that the funds in the student’s PSEA have been exhausted, the deduction will be made from the CPF account.

To find out more about the repayments and interest rates on the loan under the CPF Education scheme, visit www.cpf.gov.sg/Members/Schemes/schemes/other-matters/cpf-education-scheme 4.

Immerse yourself in the world of marine conservation and aquaculture, and help manage and protect the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precious oceans and ocean resources.

With global warming and overfishing, marine and aquatic life are under serious threat. To prevent marine species from further depletion and extinction, we must increase our efforts in conservation and sustainable fish farming practices. In support of this, the Singapore government has plans to increase the local supply of fish from 7% to 15%.

The Diploma in Marine Science and Aquaculture (DMAC) puts you on track to help preserve and protect the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precious ocean assets. During your course, you will learn about topics such as aquaculture technologies, production systems, aquatic harvesting, marine conservation, the management of aquatic animal health, and post-harvesting handling of seafood.
