The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) has announced a series of new academic programmes and enhanced learning pathways for the 2026 academic year, aimed at bolstering Singapore’s workforce in the green and digital sectors. These initiatives include the Applied Sustainability Talent Programme (ASTP), new minors in Entrepreneurship and Artificial Intelligence, and a revamped Master of Health Sciences.
The ASTP is designed to develop “Sustainability Catalysts” by offering a Second Major in Applied Sustainability. This programme, developed in collaboration with industry leaders, aims to equip students with the skills needed to drive sustainable practices across various sectors. Participants will engage in a practice-driven curriculum, complete an industry-linked project, and partake in overseas immersion programmes.
In addition, SIT is introducing minors in Entrepreneurship and Artificial Intelligence. The Minor in Entrepreneurship builds on the SIT Entrepreneurship Education and Development (SEED) Programme, fostering entrepreneurial skills through applied learning and industry collaboration. Meanwhile, the Minor in Artificial Intelligence aims to provide students with the foundational knowledge to utilise AI in their respective fields, culminating in an industry-linked project.
SIT is also enhancing its Master of Health Sciences with a Competency-based Stackable Micro-credential pathway, allowing healthcare professionals to continuously upskill and adapt to emerging community needs.
Professor Chua Kee Chaing, President of SIT, stated, “Together, these programmes reflect how education must evolve to meet changing workforce needs.” The university will host its Open House on 7 and 8 February, offering prospective students a glimpse into its applied learning curriculum and industry partnerships. Applications for undergraduate admission open from 8 January to 19 March 2026.
