Applied learning requires active learning. To help our students learn actively, we have adopted a range of teaching methodologies, such as experiential learning, flipped classrooms, and problem-based learning with a real-life context.
Our curriculum and programmes are designed and developed by our academic staff, who are experts in their respective fields. They play a key role in facilitating students’ learning by providing the industry and community context. To ensure that the curriculum remains relevant to evolving industry needs, we conduct regular consultation and collaboration with the industry.
As part of their degree programmes, students undergo the Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP), in which they are immersed in the real work environment of the industry for six to 12 months, integrating what they have learnt in the classroom with industry practice.
They are supported by Professional Officers with extensive industry experience, who act as coaches and mentors to students undergoing IWSP, in both their project work and career development.
Finally, peers also play an important role in applied learning. They serve as a support system by offering constructive and critical feedback to help one another learn better.
Everyone is a unique individual. Once you enter SIT, you’ll be supported by an ecosystem of applied learning resources to help you actively learn. Develop your own learning style to cope with university life.
