The Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP) is a one-year foundation programme that offers practice-oriented curriculum for students taking at least 5 G2 subjects or a mix of at least 5 G3/G2 subjects as an alternative route to entering polytechnic.
Admissions is restructured to a cluster-based approach.
Students will enter one of the following three key broad clusters. At the end of the PFP year, students will then apply to a specific diploma course, and posting will be based on their PFP performance and course choice:
Sciences
Design, Engineering & Technology
Humanities, Art, Media and Business
Students seeking admission to Nursing, Tamil Studies in Early Education and Early Childhood Development & Education courses will continue to be admitted via the broad clusters or directly to these specific diplomas in their PFP, as these courses are more specialised.
