Adult Learners
In line with SIT’s holistic and aptitude-based approach in assessing applicants for admission, the university duly takes into consideration relevant work experience of a significant duration. As such, SIT will admit adult learners, alongside fresh school leavers, to our undergraduate programmes.
Aspiring adult learners who do not meet SIT’s minimum academic threshold marginally, but have impressive work experience and records, may be considered fairly under SIT’s aptitude-based admissions process. This allows a second chance for candidates who may not have excelled in the polytechnic, junior college, or other educational institutions, but have since done very well in real-work situations.

SkillsFuture Work-Study Degree
SIT also offers an apprenticeship degree scheme, known as the SkillsFuture Work-Study Degree (WSDeg), for selected programmes. This scheme caters to prospective students who are in-employment (i.e. employees of companies that are participating in the WSDeg scheme with SIT) and to those who are keen to alternate between working and studying, either on a term-in/term-out mode, or a work-day/study-day mode. More details are available here.
