A Smart Campus to Call Home
SIT's Punggol Campus
Established in 2009, SIT currently has six distributed campuses, with its main campus situated in Dover.
With the growing student population, we will consolidate existing campuses into a single campus in Punggol, located in the north-east of Singapore. Our new campus will provide students with new collaborative learning spaces, high-tech labs and flexible spaces for learning to happen outside the classroom.
Students can look forward to working alongside our industry partners in the business park, located next to the university.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the transport options to get to Punggol Campus?
As part of our 'Campus-in-the-park' vision aligning with Punggol Digital District's eco-commuting policy, we're moving towards a car-lite district with fewer parking lots and limited season parking. To support eco-friendly commuting, we strongly encourage students and staff to opt for public transportation.
Here's what you can expect in terms of transportation options:
- MRT: The Punggol Coast MRT Station, situated right in front of SIT's Library Building, is slated to be up and running by the end of 2024.
- Public buses: The Punggol Coast Bus Interchange is anticipated to be ready by the end of 2024. In the meantime, discussions with LTA are underway to provide interim feeder bus services from Punggol MRT station until the Punggol Coast MRT station is ready.
- Cars: Limited parking will be available in a shared underground carpark with JTC Business Park, along with limited season parking.
- Bicycles & Personal Mobility Devices: There will be dedicated parking spaces and End-of-Trip (EOT) facilities, including lockers and toilets with shower facilities, strategically located across the campus.
This shift embodies our commitment to sustainable and accessible commuting options for everyone at our vibrant new location!
-
Will chartered bus services be available from other parts of Singapore to the Punggol Campus?
Given its connectivity and proximity to the Punggol Coast MRT station and bus interchange, there won't be any chartered bus services provided to the Punggol Campus. The public transportation options nearby aim to facilitate easy access for all students and staff commuting to the campus.
