r/SIT_Singapore

hi! i'm an incoming ict (software eng) student this year. i have some questions about this course and would love to know SWE seniors' experiences and get advice :)

1. what languages are taught in this course and anything i should take note of about any of the modules?

2. how's the weekly schedule like? (i live in the west😭)

3. laptop recommendations? is there any sort of discount available to buy laptops like in poly? (currently using a shitty laptop i bought for poly that's literally breaking down. doesn't even work properly without constant charging.)

4. how's the trimester system for this course? is it really tough?

5. is excluding modules a good idea? (i come from an IT diploma. i've heard that sometimes excluding a module can cause some struggling in other modules u cannot exclude)

Been checking my email all day and all night but I havent gotten anything yet. I checked my portal too and it still says submitted. What does it mean when I haven't gotten an offer yet but also haven't recieved a reject email yet? I have my appeal letter at the ready too.

Am I cooked if I cannot secure an IWSP position by the deadline? I'm from CS, and there is <10 days to the application deadline. I've gone for several interviews but I got ghosted for all. The thing is, I think a significant portion of the cohort is also struggling to secure a position. Will our graduation be delayed?

hi everyone! the deadline for the acceptance of my sit accountancy offer is approaching and i’m still very uncertain about whether i should accept it or go with my ntu mathematical science offer…so i hope that some accountancy seniors can provide answers to the lingering questions i have!

1. is it difficult to make friends in accountancy

2. given the large cohort in previous years, are students split into different groups to attend the same classes

3. how challenging is the trimester system specifically for accountancy students

4. how often are there group and individual projects and what are they usually about

5. what do accountancy students usually do for their capstone project

6. if i do accept the offer, should i purchase an ipad, macbook or both for the course; are there any brands which is more suitable than apple?

As per title, I want to appeal for a different course that is not within the 5 I applied for during the initial application phase, will it affect my appeal outcome, like for example putting me into a lower priority

i was looking through some reddit posts about choosing between sit and ntu because i am facing the same dilemma right now (sit accountancy vs ntu mathematical science). a lot of the responses favour ntu and the reason is mainly because of the brand name and prestige which can make it easier when applying for internship and full time jobs. but i don’t see a lot of people bringing up the IWSP and the potential to convert it into a full time job. i know that ntu also has compulsory internship but from what i understand it’s shorter than the IWSP. so i would like to know how beneficial will the IWSP for securing a job upon graduation?

I am very excited to be visiting SIT as a visiting associate faculty member during this trimester 3. One of my main goals for this trip is to gain a deeper understanding of Singapore.

I would love to chat with anyone about life, staying in Singapore, and of course, the amazing food culture here! In return, I’m happy to share insights about living and studying in the US.

My name is Shawn. Feel free to comment below or send me a DM. Looking forward to connecting!

I submitted the application on the 14th of March but then it still says only submitted. I see that a lot of other people have gotten their response already or should I just wait till may gets over too?

HEY!

Any Indians joining Singapore Institute of Technology in 2026, already studying there, or planning to join this year?

Would love to connect and discuss things like accommodation, visa process, internships, campus life, and settling into Singapore 🇸🇬

International students from other countries are welcome too 🌍

Not sure if there is anyone who is knowledgeable in this subject of matter, however, I am applying from an International school where I can only receive my final year (12) transcript when the appeal period begins (26 May). This means that I submitted my YR10, 11 and first semester YR12 grades and put a forecasted GPA of 3.8 for my YR12 second semester.

I received my rejection letter today at 3pm and wanted to know if this was because I was missing my entire second semester of YR12, or because I am not a good candidate. I was told twice by the admissions team that I would get automatically rejected due to my insufficient documentation. Despite this, I am just quite nervous and unsure as per whats the reason for my rejection.

(Edit) This isn't that personal, I am German + born in KK medical center... Quite a strange mix.

Course: Aviation Management

Looking forward to see your thoughts.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on how to write a successful appeal. I recently received a rejection and I want to make sure my appeal is strong and actually stands a chance. What I’m planning to do is acknowledge the outcome respectfully, but mainly focus on any improvements or new experiences I’ve gained since my application—like relevant job shadowing to the field that has strengthened my interest and understanding. I also want to clearly show why I’m still genuinely committed to the same course and why I feel I’m a better fit now compared to before. For those who’ve successfully appealed before, what made your appeal stand out? What should I definitely include or avoid so it doesn’t come across as too generic or emotional?

++ i did had an interview for the first window. so do i stand a chance from there too ? much help needed.

Only some degrees like Pharmaceutical and ICT are recognised by EAB. The rest? Why aren’t they accredited as well? Is it important to have an accredited degree? I heard if you want to work as an engineer overseas, many companies will completely dismiss your degree if it isn’t accredited, let alone becoming a PE

Hi I was offered PT and I’m a recent poly grad from a non science course and I can’t help feel a bit conflicted in my uni choices. I either continue with what I was previously studying in poly - [“easier” because of prior knowledge, at least I have some idea of concepts/ stuff being taught etc] or I take up PT - somewhat uncharted territory

I have concerns that because I already lack a certain level of science, I may struggle even more compared to the incoming students who come from JC or have done science related diplomas.

Are there any PT/ HSS students/ alumni that have any advice? [whether you come from a similar situation from me (non science bg) or not ]
I would love some insights as to how you decided that this course was for you, how you coped with the content, what I should expect if I decide to continue on this PT route etc.
If you think I should not take PT please share why too! I am open to all perspectives :)

Extra info:
I have very basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics etc…as I did take up sports science in secondary school (although I didn’t do well and this was also 5 years ago😐….I have been rereading my notes lately tho)

I am okay 🫤 with continuing what I have already completed studying in poly, but I’m not sure if I can see myself staying in the industry for long at all which is why I am having a hard time picking. I always think the grass is greener on the other side so I really am trying to weigh pros and cons here.
Doesn’t help that my mom is already telling people that I am heavily considering/ am going into physio already, I feel immense pressure to choose well because I had many regrets of not choosing my poly course well in the beginning

hi! i recently got accepted into the occupational therapy programme at SIT! i start late august this year. while waiting for uni to start, i want to prepare by doing some reading that's relevant to my course.

i have a diploma in early childhood so anatomy and physiology is relevantly new to me. my interviewers warned me that it might be abit difficult for me since i have no background knowledge.

any seniors have any tips on which website/books/applications that are beginner friendly into OT? id appreciate any advice! thanku so much!!

Y3 poly student here hoping to enter SIT Physiotherapy after graduation 🙏

Are there any seniors/current students/admissions officers willing to share what they did to get accepted/look out for? I’m not very sure where I stand portfolio-wise at the moment, so I’d really appreciate hearing about your GPA, shadowing experience, leadership roles, volunteering, interview prep, etc.

For context, I’m currently studying sports science and have been trying to build my portfolio through leadership, volunteering, and clinical exposure, but I’m still unsure what SIT Physio looks out for most heavily.

Would really appreciate any advice or honest insights, thank you!

so basically long story short i wanted ask if its possible to appeal to another course after accepting. I know its late and the windows are closed. But is it possible to appeal for another course despite accepting an offer. Ive accepted EEE 2027 and it was my first choice and EDE electronic data engineering appeals to me more as its more closer to AI and with the opportunity to visit Germany as well . So how do i go about with approaching the appeal do i appeal next year / send an email? how does it work if someone can guide me or do i have to apply from scratch

is sit EEE recognised in terms of PEB / IEB engineers board and is it washington board accredited. Got accepted to this course and wondering for the accreditation and certification.Might be because its a new course that just got rolled out two years ago but was wondering. Also is this course LEW ( Licensed Electrical Worker) Certification accredited degree? Someone shine a light on this please thanks :)

Anyone from this degree can shre more insight on what it's like being in the programme? Am interested in pursuing this, but am curious on the workload considering it is a part-time degree programme.

Am also curious whether students find the information they learn in the degree helpful/relevant. Thank you!

Stuff like colds and flu etc. I realised lots of people fall sick at one go each time from just being in the same room. I wonder if it’s the ventilation or tables etc needing anti viral treatment. Maybe also all of us being basically sleep deprived means easy to catch something

Personally I’ve felt sick more times in a year at uni vs when I was in army. Might consider wearing a mask indoors all the time now for lectures

Anyone else feel like they’ve been sick or sick feeling more often after enrolling
