MOE START Scheme

SIT's mission is centred on nurturing industry-ready graduates who possess deep technical expertise and transferable skills to address future challenges. We collaborate with industry in our education, providing them with a talented workforce and benefiting from our collaborative research endeavours.

Our University’s distinctive applied learning pedagogy integrates work and study, embedding authentic learning experiences within real-world settings. Through strategic partnerships forged by our academic staff with industry, learners bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application inside and outside of the classroom. These active and authentic learning opportunities ensure that graduates enter their careers with relevant skills and competence.

In research, SIT faculty aims to bridge the gap between knowledge creation and utilisation. Our faculty work closely with industry on translational research and innovation, focusing on addressing significant industry challenges to positively impact businesses.

The Singapore Teaching and Academic Research Talent (START) Scheme is co-funded by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and SIT to encourage and support exceptional Singaporeans who are interested in pursuing an academic career at SIT.
