Thought that it would be a good idea to set up a thread for parents whose kids are in or are interested in Poly/ Lasalle/ NAFA education. We can share ideas, views and experiences here.

(Hi Mods: can make this sticky please? Thanks)

May be we get going this thread by asking what Poly courses qualify for following undergraduate programs at local university
1) NTU/NUS/STUD-Engineering courses
2) NTU/NUS/SMU - Accountancy & Business Administratation corses
3) NTU/NUS/NIE/SMU- FASS( Faculty of Arts & Soc Science courses)
4) NUS/SMU/SIM( Coomunity law) - Law courses
5) NUS/NTU- Medical & Dentistry courses

Any undergraduate program , i have forgotten , please add.

There's really too many Poly courses to list. It also depends on the cut-off point and minimum requirements expected for the respective uni course. For example, you cd have a student who graduated with a Diploma in Gerontological Mgt Studies (from TP) and does well enough to meet the minimum criteria to further studies in Biz Sch or FASS or Science...

Just to clarify, it's SUTD = Singapore University of Technology and Design


There's also another local uni, SIT = Singapore Institute of Technology
(this is a collaboration of overseas partner universities with the 5 local polys)

Here's the link to SIT, http://www.singaporetech.edu.sg/

Anyone has any idea of the above course? Which poly is better? What is the prospect?

[havok_ex]

I would personally advise against tourism. Prospect doesn’t look too bright as compared to courses like engineering/science and finance.

[xiaostar]

would recommend to do a general business diploma instead.

it is very easy for business diploma grads to go into tourism anyway.
leaves you with more job options.

Do u mean enter NAFA's 3-year diploma program? If that's what you are referring to, then the prospective student has to go for an audition/admission test(s) to be selected for the prog.
