Polytechnic students taking business and business-related diploma programmes in Singapore will be able to accelerate their studies by taking undergraduate modules at NTU Singapore, starting in the 2026 academic year.
Under the University Accelerated Pathway Programme (UAPP), polytechnic students studying business courses will be able to take up to two selected undergraduate modules conducted at NTU's Nanyang Business School (NBS).
This is the first of such an initiative between NBS and all five polytechnics in Singapore where polytechnic students can expand their academic opportunities through early access to NTU's undergraduate learning environment.
Students who go on to matriculate at NTU and meet required performance criteria may transfer the grades of these completed modules to fulfil NTU graduation requirements, allowing them to graduate faster.
The university has signed Memoranda of Understanding with Nanyang Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic and Temasek Polytechnic to kickstart the collaboration between NBS and them on the UAPP.
NTU has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Singapore Polytechnic to partner on the programme.
