ACADEMIC INFORMATION

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 critical thinking, communication skills, and other 21st Century Competencies.

•

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

• Specialisation modules are designed for domain-specific training and for deepening of understanding in a 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 a discipline. • Freely chosen modules allow students to pursue peripheral interests other than their chosen field of study and for broad-based development. •

Industry Orientation Programme, comprising Industry Immersion Programme, Project and Portfolio Development (for selected courses only), helps lay the foundation for industry readiness.

FEES AND FINANCIAL SCHEMES

FEES AND FINANCIAL SCHEMES Course Fees Polytechnics adopt a cohort-based fee structure, which means a student’s Course Fees will remain constant for the entire duration of the course. This fee structure will provide greater certainty regarding tuition fees and help students to better plan for the financing of their studies. The Government will continue to absorb the GST chargeable on tuition fees payable by Singapore Citizen and Singapore Permanent Residents. The tuition fees for International Students from AY2016 intakes will be subject to GST. The Course Fees payable by full-time students consist of Tuition Fees and Supplementary Fees.

Ministry of Education (MOE) Tuition Grant Scheme The Tuition Grant Scheme was introduced by the Singapore Government to help students with the costs of tertiary education in Singapore. The 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 submit online application through MOE website and 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 nonsubsidised fee is chargeable. Permanent Residents and International Students can log into the TGOnline System, https://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 https://tgonline.moe.gov.sg. You may also email MOE Officers at MOE_tgonline@moe.gov.sg.

POST SECONDARY EDUCATION (PSE) SCHEME The PSE scheme allows students to use funds from their Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) to pay for tuition fees as well as other fees arising from their post-secondary education. Singaporean students or students with Singaporean siblings who have PSEA may apply for the funding. The PSEA is not a bank account. It is administered by MOE and is set up automatically for all eligible Singaporeans. Students may visit www.rp.edu.sg/financial-matters/financial-schemes/post-secondary-education-scheme to download the PSEA Standing Order (SO) application form. This is a one-time application and will apply to all future withdrawals until the SO is terminated or replaced. To find out more about the PSE scheme, visit www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/post-secondary-education-account To check the account balance in the PSEA, contact MOE at (65) 6260 0777. 3. CENTRAL PROVIDENT FUND (CPF) EDUCATION SCHEME Depending on the Available Withdrawal Limit for Education, and other CPF rules, a student may use their own, their siblings’, spouse’s, and parents’ (including step-parents’) CPF savings to pay for up to 100% of their subsidised Tuition Fee, subject to approval by the CPF Board.

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. TUITION FEE LOAN (TFL) SCHEME Under the DBS Tuition Fee Loan Scheme, students of all nationalities can apply for a bank loan of up to 75% of the subsidised tuition fees payable. Loan quantum is subject to revision.

CENTRE FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Unique RP-PBL Approach Problem-based Learning (PBL) is the foundation on which RP’s teaching and learning approaches are based. Through PBL, students are encouraged to learn through collaboration and application of theory to practice on real-world problems to deepen their disciplinary knowledge and skills.

In small classes of about 25 students, you will work in teams under the guidance of experienced lecturers to develop solutions to given problems or issues and develop holistically. Learning through problem solving also extends beyond the classroom through field trips, service learning and collaborative projects in a nurturing and conducive learning environment.

210

During this problem-solving process, you will develop your critical thinking skills and learn to work with others. In doing so, we enhance your intellectual make-up in terms of problemsolving process skills, lifelong learning attitude and readyto-use knowledge by giving you the opportunity to develop intellectually in ways that suit you best.

By encouraging our students to take responsibility for their own learning, they become confident, competent problem solvers and team players – attributes that are of immense value in today’s knowledge-based economy.
