It is a privilege to have spent three years in NYP. I acquired a variety of IT skills and took part in the Data Innovation
Challenge hosted by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore for my final year project. I’ve improved my
presentation and leadership skills, and learnt to be a good team player. The best thing about this course is that it exposes us to
many different IT disciplines, which I think is ideal for students who have yet to decide on their specialisation in IT. ”
