Introduction
The Part-Time Diploma in Technology is a comprehensive programme aimed at the professional upgrading of adults who possess relevant work experience in various fields of engineering. The course is unique as it operates on an open and flexible environment to allow working adults to pave their own learning progress and strike a balance between work, family and study. Modules are assigned credit units and students "Earn as they Learn" by accumulating credits for modules passed till the minimum required total of 80 credit units for graduation is achieved. There is flexibility for students to select modules to suit their immediate needs at work.
There are EIGHT majors that you can choose from:
Building Services
Electronics
Electrical
Mechanical
Mechatronics
Marine & Offshore
Logistics
Water Technology
Course Objective
The objective of this course is to train students to become competent in the respective fields of engineering. Cross-disciplinary electives will also allow participants to learn wide-ranging fields of skills and knowledge.
Special Features of the course:
- Self-paced learning
- Flexibility to choose non-core elective modules from other disciplines
- Possible to complete in 3 years (6 semesters)
- Progression route to universities (local and overseas) and recognised by Industry http://www.np.edu.sg/cpd/Accredit.htm
