All About Polytechnics

Although some courses may have low cut offs, it may not necessarily mean it is a good course, some are just very popular because they seem fun, for example Mass comm, may not necessarily be that good in terms of job demand in the future

I know International Business in ngee Ann poly is one of the hardest to get into, a lot of single pointers there.
The course isnt offered any more. They have changed it to international trade. The cut-off is 10 this year. -
My daughter is aiming to become a psychiatrist. We are exploring the options to 1) JC or 2) Polytechnic. I understand that she needs to go to medical school and complete her basic degree then she will proceed with her Master Doc degree.
I would like to find out if she opts for Poly route, which course should she take to apply for NUS/NTU Medical program.
TIA! -

I wonder if you want to try for the EAE, and you do not have relevant subjects that you are currently taking that is related to the course you want to enter via EAE, do this means that one would have a lower chance of getting into the course via EAE? Like example, if one wants to enter Accounting course via EAE, but you do not take POA as one of your subjects, does this mean that it will lower your chance as you do not have any chance to participate in any of relevant to the accounting course?
Last year my sister's neighbor EAE into Poly Accounting course, he didn't take POA in Secondary. -
Hi Everyone ! :imanisland:
Not too sure if there are other separate threads with regards to the above subject, if yes, do help to direct me there yeah
Just wondering, anyone's dd or ds applied under EAE to Polytechnic recently?
If yes, wanna share share experiences together?
My DD recently applied for Life Science courses for NP, SP & NYP.
Got shortlisted for interview to NP next week :xedfingers: Any pointers to share to prepare for the interview?
Whereas for SP, she received an email to attend a Mass Screening Session this coming Friday (to be followed by interview after that). Wonder what this Mass Screening is about. :scratchhead:
So anyways, if anyone has anything to share about EAE or about our 2002 kiddoes, come let's chat here !
Thanks in Advanced ! -

Anyone has any idea of the above course? Which poly is better? What is the prospect?
About Mass Comm - the hardest to get in is Ngee Ann, then SP, then RP. I don't think the other 2 have mass comm. Teaching methodologies probably vary a bit, but I can't really comment on that. My daughter was in RP Mass Comm briefly (left because she managed to get a more preferred course later), and the courses essentially prepare students for jobs in marketing, advertising, PR, broadcasting etc, with lots of hands-on activities and projects. NP had a DJ-ing module, I recall from the open house. Mass Comm also enables students to get jobs in areas that require writing and presentations. That's all I remember - look at the websites for more details. -

You are right...why is Tourism suddenly so popular? What are the possible jobs apart from hotel and travel agency jobs? One must have humility and high EQ to excel in this service industry.slmkhoo:

Friend's kid doing retail management diploma and went to intern at a G2000 shopfront. The kid kept complaining about picky customers and having to stand all day! Not a bed of roses.
