As the pioneer of the applied pathway model, SIT endeavours to develop individuals who build on their interests and talents to impact society by providing a nurturing environment that is uniquely enriched by world-class partners. By integrating theory with hands-on application, students will be exposed to real-life work environments, thereby training them to be work-ready upon graduation. SIT will also seek to inject the SIT-DNA into the learning experience of its students, inspiring them to become ‘thinking tinkerers’ and catalysts for transformation, with the ability to learn, unlearn and relearn; while ensuring that they are grounded in their community. These traits will make SIT graduates easily distinguishable from their peers.
