Dual Studies Industry Sponsorship Programme
Dual Studies Industry Sponsorship programme has the degree course alternating between coursework plus lab work at SIT and completing the practical phase of the program at the sponsoring company in Singapore. These sponsoring companies have R&D, regional headquarters, and regional business development functions based in Singapore. This gives students an opportunity to experience the dual studies model that is practiced by many overseas universities.
The Dual Studies Industry Sponsorship Pioneer programme does not require the student to study the German language, however we have integrated an overseas practical phase in the sponsor company’s headquarters in Germany. Any immersion into the German language is optional and up to the needs of the sponsoring company. There is also a compulsory exchange semester to USA weaved into the SEEMS programme. This will ensure that the student is well- exposed to an international suite of partners and clients by the time he/she graduates.
Upon graduation, the sponsoring company may also offer a permanent contract for deserving dual studies graduates. The Dual Studies Industry Sponsorship programme is in partnership with the following SIT’s Programme:
- Systems Engineering (Electro-Mechanical Systems), BEng (Hons)
- Information and Communications Technology (Software Engineering), BEng (Hons)
- Information and Communications Technology (Information Security), BEng (Hons)
Interested students should hence apply to the relevant programme in SIT. After matriculation, they may apply to the sponsoring companies.
