• Other qualifications where applicable (i.e. ACT, IELTS, MICHIGAN, SAT I, SAT II, TOEFL)
• Work experience/Internships
• Interview performance

Applicants with certain medical conditions are not restricted to apply for some degree programmes. Please read this document for more details.

Applicants presenting qualifications from overseas education institutions will be considered for admission to the degree programmes offered by the following Overseas Universities:

1. DigiPen Institute of Technology
2. The Culinary Institute of America

SAT I and SAT II will be taken into account for admission purposes if applicants submit their scores to SIT.

Transfer Students

Applicants from one of the local Autonomous Universities in Singapore may also apply to SIT. Applicants will need to submit their applications online when the application period commences. Each degree programme will have its own admission requirements and applicants will need to meet these requirements just like any other new applicant.

Students (Singapore Citizens and Singapore Permanent Residents) who transfer or are re-admitted within SIT or across the autonomous universities will be eligible for the tuition grant up to the normal programme duration* for the SIT degree programme after subtracting the number of semesters of tuition grant received for the previous programme(s).
