Our Students’ Stories
Aim High with the NYP Scholarship
Yap Lin Hui Rennie
Diploma in Spatial Design, Year 3
School of Design
CHIJ St Joseph’s Convent Alumna
“I was set on studying spatial design. Hence I decided to
work hard for my N-levels to qualify for the NYPFP so that
I could get a head start in this course ahead of my peers.
Not only did I pick up basic design skills before Year 1
of my diploma, I also explored the other design courses
offered at NYP and got to learn from my peers during my
foundation year. My NYPFP experience was very fun and
filled with lots of laughter.”

Diploma in Games Development and Technology, Class of 2018

Evergreen Secondary School Alumnus
“I have wonderful memories of my NYPFP year. It
helped me transit smoothly from secondary school to
polytechnic life where there were a lot more project
work. I made many friends from other diplomas. I picked
up skills and knowledge that would be relevant to the
industry that I had always wanted to work in eventually –
digital media. I have never regretted choosing NYP and
the PFP. If not for NYP, I would not have a chance to intern
at Ubisoft Singapore for six months!”

Paya Lebar Methodist Girl’s School Alumna
“The NYPFP was really useful in helping me to adjust to poly
life both academically and socially. I was able to build up a
good foundation in physics – a new subject for me at that time
- from scratch. Being a shy and introverted person by nature,
I was thankful to have more time to get to know new friends
and get familiarised with the campus life before I entered Year
1. NYP also provided me with many opportunities to learn and
grow as a person in my three years here. For instance, I took
part in the Overseas Internship Programme at ESIEE Paris in
Year 3 where I was involved in the design and development
of a flight simulator, and I learnt to be more independent
through this overseas stint.“
