Ke Jinhan I knew that I have a deep passion in Information Technology but I wasn’t ready to commit to any of the specialisation fields yet. Hence CIP benefited me greatly. It allowed me to experience the different aspects of IT through the modules, to have a better understanding of the career prospects through insightful communications with the Programme Chairs, and to discover more about my strength and weakness through the various Education, Counselling Guidance (ECG) activities. Through these activities and support, I’m certain that I have made the right diploma choice. Enrolled into Common Infocomm Programme (CIP) in 2020 Diploma in Business Information Systems Year 1 Jinhan has a passion for technology, but felt he was not ready to commit to any of the specialisation fields.

In addition, he was given insightful advice from lecturers which provided him with a better understanding of career prospects. These have guided him to make a confident decision in his chosen SOI diploma. Zoie Chew The unique RP Problem-based Learning approach provided me with fun and interesting experiences.
