ALUMNI
Once a SITizen, always a SITizen!
The SIT experience is for life. Our students relationship with SIT will continue even after graduation, as will the privileges given to them. SIT alumni keep in touch with one another, and with SIT, through alumni network events. Our alumni also contribute back to the learning experience of SIT students by playing the roles of mentors, career advisers and speakers. Upon graduation, our alumni will receive the SIT Alumni Card which gives them many benets and privileges, including entry to SITs exclusive networking events.
Do you think what you learnt at school is applicable to your work now? My diploma was in Mechanical Engineering, so this specialised degree in Marine Engineering gave me the technical knowledge needed for working at a shipyard. Tell us a bit about your work. As a Commercial Ofcer, I assist the superintendent whenever ships dock at the yard for repairs. I liaise with the superintendent and the production team to ensure that repairs are completed smoothly and as soon as possible. I get to go on board ships every day. I like that the job is not desk-bound. I also get to meet people from different countries and cultures, as the ships and their crew come from different countries. Communicating with people of different backgrounds is one of the most challenging aspects of my job, and its something Im still learning every day. Although we start work early and have to work under the hot sun wearing thick boilersuits, I nd that my work is very rewarding. Every time I see a ship set sail, I get an immense sense of achievement.

Our Overseas Immersion Programme in California was an amazing eye-opener. I also had the opportunity to work in New York at one of the top restaurants in the world. This global exposure really helped to build up my skills, knowledge and connections. Mark Tai Wei Jie Chef de Partie, Esquina Tapas Bar Class of 2013 BPS Culinary Arts Management, The Culinary Institute of America
How did your time with CIA prepare you for work? Through CIA, I was able to go overseas and build up my connections. For example, I worked at Eleven Madison Park, one of the top restaurants in the world, and got to take part in their collaboration with another top restaurant, Alinea. The two restaurants did a pop-up where staff from both restaurants could learn from each other and exchange pointers. The exposure was great and really enhanced my skills. What have you learnt at work so far that stands out for you? One thing thats really important in a restaurant is speed meeting deadlines. We have a small kitchen and start everything from scratch, so its really important to be able to deliver quickly. Nothing beats the satisfaction of sitting together with your colleagues after a busy day, knowing youve pushed yourself hard and done your best.

Through a unique tripartite collaboration with its overseas university partners and the ve local polytechnics, SIT represents a new model that is set to become a key pillar of university education. SIT adopts a distributed campus model where an SIT building will be constructed within the grounds of the each of the ve Polytechnics. This model allows greater synergy and efciency by giving SIT students greater access to existing resources within each Polytechnic. Through this model, SITs degree programmes will be housed within an SIT building in each of the polytechnics to cater to a gradual increase of students each academic year. We will also have a building at Dover, which will house our administrative ofces, and some of our degree programmes.

The amount stated here is accurate at time of publication and may be subject to change.
Note: 1. All amounts quoted are exclusive of GST. 2. For students paying subsidised fees, GST on the tuition fees will be subsidised by MOE. 3. For students paying non-subsidised fees, GST on the tuition fees is to be borne by the student. Notes on payment of fees: 1. Students who do not sign the Tuition Grant Agreement or who are not eligible for the Tuition Grant will have to pay non-subsidised tuition fees. 2.
