The good response from our researchers, who proposed numerous interesting projects, has attracted a large pool of Final Year Project students in the past few years.

Honours Year Project (HYP)

We have been participating in the Honours Year Project with National University of Singapore’s School of Computing and Faculty of Science. Students who went through this programme have successfully completed their Honours Year Project under the guidance of our researchers who are Professors or teaching fellows from School of Computing and Faculty of Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT PROGRAMMES - OTHERS

Polytechnic Student Research Programme (PSRP)

The objective of the programme is to nurture local polytechnic students in R&D through an immersion in a scientific and engineering research environment. The selected students will do their final year projects at the universities and research institutes (RIs). It is hoped that the programme will prepare these students for an R&D career upon graduation. Students undertaking R&D projects will continue to attend normal classes at the Polytechnic. The RI supervisors will co-supervise the students' projects, with Polytechnic’s supervisors. Each project group normally consists of 3 students.

A*STAR Pre-departure Attachment Programme

Initiated by the A*STAR Graduate Academy (AGA), the programme enables potential BS-PhD scholars to indicate  their interest in attachment with the research institutes. Their application will be circulated to the relevant departments to solicit interest from the researchers who might be keen to supervise the scholars. Scholars under this programme will undergo an attachment before they embark with their studies at overseas universities.
