Transforming Healthcare, Empowering Lives

The Health and Social Sciences cluster (HSS) at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) offers curated undergraduate programmes to educate, train, and nurture students to become competent and dedicated healthcare professionals. By 2030, the number of older people aged 65 and above is projected to increase from 582,000 today to more than 900,000, and comprise 20% of the population. An ageing society would mean a greater need for healthcare services and providers. SIT-HSS graduates can look forward to fulfilling careers, impacting the lives of individuals and communities in hospitals, polyclinics, specialist centres, intermediate and long-term care facilities, schools, and social care sectors.
