- What is Diploma in CPT all about?
It is a 3-year diploma course to train technologists for the growing chemical & pharmaceutical industries.
- Why should I choose the Diploma in CPT course?
This Diploma course offers great prospects as this course provides a broad-based training which is designed to equip students with the necessary skills to work in both the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. With continuous and future strong growth in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, students can expect ample job opportunities when they graduate from this course. Pharmaceutical & chemical companies are keen to recruit technologists who are suitably trained and able to keep up with the latest technologies, equipment and manufacturing processes.
- Is GCE 'O' level in Chemistry a prerequisite for Diploma in CPT?
Applicants need not have studied chemistry at'O' Level, although it will be useful. The course will lay a strong foundation for the students.
- How is Dip in CPT related to Life Sciences? What is the difference between Diploma in CPT and Diploma in Molecular Biotechnology?
The CPT graduate will be able to work in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities (as well as chemical manufacturing facilities) in areas such as operations, design, process control, laboratory and quality control. MBT graduates are geared towards product R&D, business development, sales & marketing functions in pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical devices companies.
- Is Diploma in CPT a hybrid course? Do I learn less pure chemical engineering subjects? Will it be a disadvantage to graduates?
There are many common areas of technology between the chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. This course is broad-based enough in preparing students to work in either the chemical or pharmaceutical industry. The 2 areas of specialisations (petrochemical technology and pharmaceutical technology) give students a "head-start" in the industry they choose. In developing this course, NYP has received favorable support from chemical and pharmaceutical companies that this course will help prepare our graduates for their industries.
- Can I work as a pharmacist after graduation with a Diploma in CPT?
This course does not prepare students to work as pharmacists. To be qualified pharmacists, graduates with a Diploma in Molecular Biotechnology can go through a degree course in Pharmacy either in local or overseas universities.
