Huh? So is can apply for NUS PT Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) or not at NUS?
Good Day,
I am seriously considering going for the Part-Time Diploma In Infocomm & Digital Media (IT Network & System Administration) offered by NanYang Polytechnic.
I am already in my 40s and wanted to have a local diploma so that I can apply for a job that I am interested in school (non-teaching) or hold a better position in most MNCs.
Although I have a bit and pieces of 15+ years of experience in IT industry throughout my career, I cannot get or hold the job I want or desire in the IT industry due to my educational level. Because of that, I have not developed good skills for better jobs. I hope once I completed my diploma, I can changed that and broaden my limited skill sets.
Please help give advises on this course if you are currently taking or completed and share your experience here.
I currently holds a Higher NITEC In Network Security Technology with an average GPA 4 but applying for my ideal and dream full-time diploma (Diploma In Network Systems & Security) is not possible as I have studied in Poly before but withdrawn/not completed (family and financial reasons) many years ago and recently as vacancies for this course are extremely limited and I will be at the bottom-end of the list when comes to the selection process for Poly regardless of my GPA score.
So if I will to try to apply for a full-time diploma that matches closely with the Ngee Ann Poly Diploma In Network Systems & Security with less strict and more vacancies available course will be NanYang Poly Diploma In Engineering Informatics which I will try to apply when their DAE opens today.
Although I already heard that this part-time diploma cannot be used to enter local Universities such as NUS, NTU, SMU.... but I also heard that a bro here got entry to UniSIM with this diploma.
The discussion here will help me determine if I go for this part-time diploma or go for a full-time diploma in Poly. DAE for SP and NYP starts today till 28 Feb, so I will have about less than 4 days to consider which option to take. Therefore, I hope bros or sis here can give me some advises on this part-time course or feedback about the courses in general will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Calvin
hi calvin i'm somewhat in the same boat as you except that i'm younger.
just checking those who studied in full time or part time poly before stand very low or no chance of entering this part time dip course in nyp? i dun have a proper diploma yet.
i have 2 higher nitec certs ... 1 in IT and 1 in mech engrg. i studied mech engrg in SP full time dip 3 yrs but didn't complete.
prior to SP and before i took up my hnitec in mech engrg i studied in nyp this course which was named engrg informatics last time for about 6mths then i quitted. last time it was 5 yrs part time for this course. believe it's the same course as what it's named now just that they changed the name.
so do i stand any chance of enrolling back into this course for 2.5yrs and will moe permit me to? or will i be given last priority becos i studied in poly before? also would i still be given subsidies for course fees?
calvin, what's the rate of school fees per term that you're paying now for yr first sem? do u have govt subsidy granted for your course fees or are you paying the full rate ?
u so old alrdy still wana go full timeu siao is it?
u wana beo xmm is it?
how much u pay for yr first sem next mth la?
I applied part time diploma from sp,np and rp in engineering and all 3 polytechnic accepted my applications.
I only have nitec in electrical technology with gpa 2.8 and 5 years working experience which related to electrical engineering.
Gpa requirements is not a problem i think they are recognise more on our working experiences for poly part time diploma.
Haha...I just want a diploma to go local Universities...
All my life I have been not serious about studying and to a certain extend, if I am not a at least a diploma holder, I don't get a better starting pay.
It is also my wish before I die to achieve a task that I never will think I can do it in my lifetime as I don't like studying in my younger days.
I am paying $888.35 per sem for the next 5 sems.
1 sem= 6mths?
so ex? $888? no subsidy?

- Part-time poly diploma is as recognise as the local poly system itself and the poly's brand name.
- PT diploma are generally not articulated or articulated to lesser universities locally/overseas. Thus, recognition for further studies is dependent on the relevant universities.
- Compared to a full-time diploma, PT diploma is more focus on the work requirements. FT diploma is more comprehensive, with subjects preparing students for further studies and more broad-based.
- There are definitely civil/public service jobs available for poly diploma graduates (regardless FT/PT), but to get short-listed is dependent on competition.
- Pay-rise is also dependent on whether it is required for your current jobscope, example, if you are now doing low-skilled work, the diploma may not help you at all. But if you are pending for higher-skilled and responsibility and your employer is waiting for you to get a higher education. The diploma will definitely help you push that button.
u mean u enrol for course you nvr ask what time yr classes start ah ?If you are working already and are above 35 years of age (not sure about the age limit) and earn lesser than $1900 a month, you can apply for WTS from government and pay only $200+ per sem...
I was told it is 3 times a week, but I have not received which 3 days the lessons will be.
Dateline for enrollment is today 17:30 hours, for those who has not enroll yet. Verification of original educational documents are needed for the submission of the enrollment documents.
