Poly survival guide: 5 things every freshman should know

09 Jan 2025

Freshmen entering any of the five polytechnics in Singapore – NP, NYP, RP, SP and TP – should be prepared for a number of adjustments. These include adapting to irregular schedules with lengthy free periods, prioritising academic performance as GPA is crucial, and navigating potential challenges in group projects. While face time with friends might be less frequent due to online learning and reduced time on campus, polytechnics offer numerous opportunities for students to explore new interests through clubs and societies. Similar news reported in CNA938, which featured Dr Lim Joo Ghee, Deputy Senior Director, Engineering Cluster, School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, who shared that SP’s new minor in robotics is in line with the high demand in the semiconductor industry, as well as the fields of robotics and automation.
