So instead of learning the A to Z of physics, youwill learn the specific bits of maths, the exact engineering know-how todraw and analyse data from smart sensors, and top it all off with publicspeaking skills — so that you can present your findings and make yourwork count.A key feature of the PCM: It is co-built, and in some cases co-taught,by industry majors and leading companies. You may also get additionalindustry certifications while getting your diploma!Because these companies are at the forefront of their expertise areas,your course will continue to remain relevant and desirable.So far, Microsoft, Oracle Academy, Ubisoft, NVIDIA and Shimadzu —among others — are involved in co-creating PCM courses with us.Visit www.nyp.edu.sg for more tiktok.com/@nanyangpolyinstagram.com/nanyangpoly5

TheSHSS experienceShe found her callingin healthcareCELINE LEE XIANG YIDIPLOMA IN NURSINGCeline volunteered for a medical missiontrip to Cambodia in secondary school anddecided to become a nurse after beingmoved by the selfless sacrifices madeby the medical team and witnessing theappreciation from the patients.She chose the Diploma in Nursing atSHSS for its plethora of nursing specialistcourses. During her course of study, Celinedid a one-week internship in Japan, whereshe visited various healthcare institutions tolearn more about their healthcare delivery.“I was impressed by how healthcare wasdelivered in Japan. Much attention waspaid to the smallest details, and everythingwas done with the patients’ best interest inmind,” says Celine.“This will always serve as a reminderthat the needs of my patients are of utmostimportance, and that quality nursing careincludes taking care of their mental andemotional needs.”Celine also completed a seven-weekinternship at the University ofPennsylvania, USA.17Career switch led to newknowledge and self-discoveryAUTTHASRI RAKCHANOK, ELLADIPLOMA IN ORAL HEALTH THERAPYElla switched from a career in logistics to work as a dentalassistant in a clinic. But she was not confident in her abilities— she felt unable to point out lapses or offer advice topatients who sought her opinion.Studying at SHSS changed all that. Just six months into herstudies, she noticed a significant change in herself. She grewconfident in voicing her opinion and thinking independently,and noticed that patients showed greater trust in her advice.“SHSS has helped me develop both professionally and as a person. I’ve learnt tounderstand my strengths and weaknesses, to be discerning in my judgment, to thinkindependently and critically, and to communicate effectively,” says Ella.Honing her skills andknowledge to help othersUMMI SHAFIAHDIPLOMA IN SOCIAL SCIENCES (SOCIAL WORK)(NOW KNOWN AS DIPLOMA IN SOCIAL WORK)Ummi wanted a career that could impact the lives of others,so she decided to pursue the Diploma in Social Sciences(Social Work) to learn about the needs of individuals across awide spectrum.She learnt that being caring and having the desire tohelp and care for others do not always equate to positiveoutcomes. Knowledge and skills to enhance people’s socialfunctioning and overall well-being must also come in so thatclients are cared for in a productive and meaningful way.“SHSS offered me invaluable learning opportunities to hone a diverse and demandingrange of professional, emotional and cognitive skills necessary for social work practice. I’vefound myself growing and developing not only in my professional knowledge and skills, butalso as a person,” shares Ummi.18
