Integrated Work Study Programme

Integrated Work Study Programme provides students with the opportunity to undertake real work. Held over the span of eight months, it is designed to be more in-depth than a traditional internship. You will gain real work experience and apply the theories you learn in class with actual practice.

Study Trip

Regional Immersion In Sustainable Engineering (RISE) will create opportunities for students to visit key infrastructure facilities and projects in the region. Students will gain first-hand experience in communicating with engineers, designers and operators who are working on various phases of a project such as those in design, construction, operation and maintenance. RISE will be an eye-opener that will enrich students' learning experiences.

Career Options

Graduates can look forward to working in, but not limited to, the following occupational fields: 

  • LTA
  • SMRT
  • SBS Transit
  • Railway Original Equipment Manufacturers and Suppliers
  • Singapore Technologies
