Good for those who are strong in language to learn how to write ‘new media’ articles. Actually found it an exciting course for those who dislike Math, Science and business. Have a friend’s kid aiming for it. ELR2B2 range 5-9. Good luck if your child is interested!

is this a new part-time or full-time Diploma course at Sg Polytechnic, or only a short Enrichment course conducted over a few months session lessons ?
Any input on this course?[/quote] -

The full-time diploma programme is not that new - it already was running in 2016. My daughter applied but was not successful. Not sure if it's available as a part-time course.

My nephew dsa for it and got in. He was top in his cohort (neighbourhood school) for literature in sec 3 and 4. My son said mt nephew has other stuff that boost his portfolio including authoring some web story/novella of some sorts etc.
No info because my sister is very hands-off with her boy. Don’t know his level score too because we didn’t ask. -
My child doesn’t dislike math nor science, just has a stronger preference for English and literature. She was selected for creative writing program by MOE and is under mentorship.
Just wondering about life after this diploma -
Pardon my ignorance, I never knew we could DSA for polytechnics
Would the process be similar to that of Secondary schools? -

The obvious would be to go into writing for the various media avenues (TV, film, websites, magazines, journalism, etc). More broadly, any job in media, not necessarily just writing, would be possibilities (PR, advertising, marketing etc). Even more broadly, anything that involves words might also be possibilities (publishing, the marketing aspects of libraries/museums/archives, corporate comms, etc). She might also want to get a degree after her diploma or after working for a while, and there are many possibilities in communications and arts.

After the dip, either they headed to Australia to pursue similar courses and got their degrees in 2 years (one year exemption as staying within the course) or they pursued psychology or philosophy degrees in local unis (no exemption since new courses).
After they graduated with their degrees, working as scriptwriters, film producer related work, etc. All seem happy with their jobs.
* from what I know, psychology or philosophy courses are useful for media people and so it's kind of like a 'natural progression'.

I dunno the process. My sister is a hands off parent. Her boy selected and course and went through the application process by himself. I only did remind her earlier to look into the possibility of dsa like in primary school (and to take note not to miss any deadline, because she really handsoff. Lol) because my nephew is really the lit kind of dude.
