Hey there! It’s me, Geraldine again, and this time… let’s talk about our future! And by that, I meant future education. Hehe.
For those of you oldies who’ve just graduated from NP (;P), I bet you’re thinking about what lies ahead next. Well… There is always the degree route, because higher education definitely makes you more qualified when you apply for a job.
If you’re diving straight into the work field, though, never underestimate the power of an awesome portfolio! So remember to pull out all your best work and present it to your interviewer. Maybe you’ll be able to stun them with your awesomeness. ;)
But that’s not really what I’m going to talk about today. To be more specific, let me tell you about the degree courses that you can take in Ngee Ann!
Degrees in Marine Technology
Newcastle University, UK
School of Engineering
Our school has been hosting this two-year degree in Naval Architecture since 2008, but come September, Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) is going to manage the programme! It’s still held in Ngee Ann though, so that’s a good thing.
And you know how they say good things come in pairs? Well, guess what! There’re two new courses: a degree in Marine Engineering and a degree in Offshore Engineering.
While this degree caters mainly to Marine & Offshore Engineering graduates, it’s open to all graduates of Mechanical Engineering-related courses. So if you’re really interested, all you have to do is just a bridging course and you’re all set!
And what’s awesome about this programme is that you get to experience a four-week immersion trip in Newcastle, UK. Talk about getting a quality education filled with opportunities. ;)
So if you’re interested, make sure you visit the SIT website and submit an online application!

Degree in Creative Producing
Chapman University, Orange County, California
School of Film and Media Studies
Are you interested in making films? Do you get totally psyched when you’re working on a film? Well if you do, check out this two year accelerated degree programme made just for you! It’ll impart the knowledge of the ins and outs of working in an international environment, and not only that, Hollywood practitioners will teach this specially designed course!
Opportunities are aplenty, and you can look forward to serving your internship in the filmmaking capital of the world at the Chapman campus. Isn’t that exciting? ;D
And this time round, this degree is no longer limited to graduates of Film, Sound & Video and Mass Communication students. You can apply even if you’re from other polytechnics/institutions (as long as your diploma is related to the degree).
Application closes on 31 March 2010, so make sure you sign up now before it’s too late!

Degree in Early Childhood Education
Wheelock College Center for International Education, Leadership, and Innovation
School of Humanities
So you’ve just finished your diploma in Early Childhood Education and Child Psychology & Early Education, and you know you want to go on to university to get a degree. So… ever thought about getting your degree at NP?
Hehe. In case you didn’t know, Ngee Ann actually offers a degree in Early Childhood Education. It trains you to be a critical thinker, so you’ll be able to teach the little ones (cute kiddies alert!) using different approaches. After all, everyone has their own way of learning, and this way you’ll be nurturing our future generation to be awesomely talented individuals!
Not only that, you get to spend five weeks at their Boston campus for a hands-on education during the summer. ;)

So what are you waiting for? If you’re thinking about getting a degree, look no further! Check out the degrees you can get here right at Ngee Ann!
PS: I think these options are all pretty cool (and I’m pretty keen on the Creative Producing degree myself), especially since you get once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to travel overseas while studying. What do you think of it? Let me know in the comments below!
