Frequently Asked Questions

Curriculum and Programme Structure
  1. chevron--up
    How does stacking to a degree work?

    Our BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic degree (via the CSM Pathway) offers a flexible and modular structure comprising the following:

    • Two Engineering micro-credentials (covering data analytics and operational excellence)
    • Two Programme micro-credentials (covering the necessary fundamental knowledge and skills for engineering majors)
    • Two Programme Elective micro-credentials (covering specific knowledge and skills for a targeted industry)
    • One Unrestricted Elective (choose either a micro-credential or a set of modules from any cluster for to broaden learning)


    Relevant micro-credentials that you obtain can be stacked progressively to complete this degree. 

    In addition to SIT’s micro-credentials, your pathway to a degree will also take into account other prior learning, such as industry certifications or competencies acquired from work, which will provide you with credit or exemptions.

    Do I need to take micro-credentials in a particular order?

    Although we provide a recommended study pathway for the degree programme, you are not required to take micro-credentials in a prescribed order. SIT will state the recommended baseline competencies an individual should have before embarking on a micro-credential.

  3. chevron--up
    How long does it take to complete one micro-credential?

    It takes one trimester (3+ months) to complete a micro-credential.

  4. chevron--up
    If I already possess industry certifications or relevant work experience, will these be taken into account during the application process?

    Yes. In addition to SIT’s micro-credentials, your application will also take into account other prior learning, such as industry certifications or competencies acquired from work, providing you with credit or exemptions.

  5. chevron--up
    Is there a time frame to complete the degree?

    You would need to complete your degree within 6 years. If you have completed individual micro-credentials offered by SITLEARN, each micro-credential is valid for 5 years when used for enrolling into the degree.

    Where will the programme specialisation be indicated?

    The programme specialisation will be indicated on the academic transcript.

     

  7. chevron--up
    I’m interested in other areas of engineering. Will you be offering other micro-credentials?

    SIT regularly reviews its curriculum to ensure that it remains industry-relevant. We are looking to expand the list of micro-credentials.

  8. chevron--up
    What is the structure of micro-credentials?

    Micro-credentials are largely taught asynchronously, which gives you the flexibility to learn whenever and wherever you choose. Each micro-credential combines online delivery for topics and in-person delivery for lab sessions and integrated projects. The learning activities vary for each micro-credential.

    What is the role of the success coach in the micro-credential?

    Success coaches will work with you to develop a personalised learning plan. They will provide you with various resources and support services to help you navigate your learning journey.
