Applied Computing Micro-credentials

Although we provide a recommended study pathway for the degree programme, you are not required to take micro-credentials in a prescribed order. SIT will state the recommended baseline competencies that an individual should have before embarking on a micro-credential.

Not for foundation-level micro-credentials. Others may require basic computing knowledge.

It takes one trimester (3+ months) to complete a micro-credential.

SIT regularly reviews its curriculum to ensure that it remains industry-relevant. We are looking to expand the list of micro-credentials.

Micro-credentials are largely taught asynchronously, which gives you the flexibility to learn whenever and wherever you choose. While each micro-credential combines online and in-person delivery, the learning activities vary for each micro-credential.

Success coaches will work with you to develop a personalised learning plan. They will provide you with a wide range of resources and support services to help you navigate your learning journey.

Acceptance into the micro-credential will be determined by the Teaching Team and/or if you fulfil the assumed prior knowledge (if any) stated in each respective micro-credential’s webpage. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
 

No, there won’t be any interviews or additional assessments. However, you would need to provide supporting documents listed in the application form for a smoother admission process.

It is not advisable to enrol in more than one micro-credential at any one time given the associated commitment and workload.

You will receive an email notification from SITLEARN.

You may apply for the degree programme during the annual admission cycle from March – May. You must pass at least one Foundation or Specialised micro-credential with a minimum grade of 'C' and meet the degree's eligibility criteria.

Our BSc (Hons) in Applied Computing degree (via the CSM Pathway) offers a flexible and modular structure comprising two foundational micro-credentials in Applied Computing, four specialised micro-credentials in key areas of the field, and two elective micro-credentials (or two specialised micro-credentials in its place).  Relevant micro-credentials that you obtain can be stacked progressively to complete this degree.
 
In addition to SIT’s micro-credentials, your pathway to a degree will also take into account other prior learning such as industry certifications or competencies acquired from work, which will provide you with credit or exemptions.

The list of micro-credentials subsidised by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) will be progressively updated.  If you are planning to stack to a degree, SSG funding is only available for up to five micro-credentials (i.e. 90 credits).
