The three long years spent studying for your diploma in a polytechnic are finally over – what’s next? A handful of students might rush to join the workforce by starting with an internship or searching for full-time work opportunities, while some might further their studies by taking a bachelor’s degree in a local university. But do you know you can also pursue your bachelor’s degree after your diploma education in a private education institution like PSB Academy?
In this blog, we explore reasons to why you should choose PSB Academy after your diploma.
1. Choice of 7 Renowned Universities and 12 Disciplines
Choosing a good university to further your education is an important decision that will affect the next leg of your academic career and significantly impact your career path after graduation. Thankfully, at PSB Academy, we have seven renowned overseas universities across 12 disciplines — Accounting and Finance, Media and Communication, Business Management, Cybersecurity, Engineering, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety, Hospitality and Tourism, IT and Computer Science, Life Sciences, Logistics and Supply Management, Marketing, Sports Sciences.
These universities include Coventry University, Edinburgh Napier University, Edith Cowan University, La Trobe University, The University of Newcastle, Australia, University of Hertfordshire, and Webster University.
2. Fast Track Your Undergraduate Education
Here at PSB Academy, not only will you be able to experience the curriculum of an overseas university of your choice, but you can also possibly graduate faster. If you have a relevant diploma from any polytechnic in Singapore, you can possibly receive module exemptions that can help to cut down on time spent taking your post-diploma bachelor’s degree. This way, you will have the opportunity to start working in the workforce earlier than your peers.
Take it from PSB Academy alumnus, Chua Qi Zhen, who shared that taking Biomedical Science Degree in La Trobe University through our institution has equipped him with industry knowledge that allows him to work efficiently in the laboratory. Qi Zhen received module exemptions because of his relevant diploma from Republic Polytechnic, allowing him to fast-track his life science bachelor’s degree at PSB Academy.
3. All-Rounded Curriculum
Other than a myriad of courses spanning across 12 disciplines offered by a number of overseas universities, we also focus on giving students hands-on experience to help equip them with the necessary skills for the workforce.
In fact, one of our students, Vinoshi D/O Selvathurai, has benefitted immensely from this hands-on experience by putting her knowledge to good use as a media technologist in a COVID-19 lab post-graduation.
Not just equipping the students academically, we also strive to provide students with a vibrant student life with student clubs, interest groups and plenty of networking opportunities, so that students are able to develop themselves professionally and academically to be able to take on infinite opportunities post-graduation.
4. Emphasis on Employability
On top of well-established curriculum developed in consultation with university partners, we also place importance in graduates’ employability. According to PSB Academy Graduate Employment Survey 2021, almost 8 in 10 graduates were employed six months after examinations*.
From getting help to put together your resume, preparing you for interviews to connecting you with potential employers, the career services team are dedicated to helping students prepare for their different career stages. Quoting Riya Gote, our PSB Academy alumna, “I am continually impressed by how personally invested PSB Academy’s career coaches are in my professional development and success.”
*PSB Academy Graduate Employment Survey 2021 was conducted by Kadence International. The employment rate refers to the number of graduates employed as a proportion of graduates in the labour force and includes all graduates from full/part-time degree courses in 2020 six months after examinations.
