What is the EAE (for working adults)?

 

The EAE provides you a chance to secure a place in your preferred course by giving more emphasis to your skills, aptitude and work experience. 

 

Who can apply?

 

You must be a working adult:
• who is Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident,
• with at least two years of relevant work experience.

Working adults whose past academic grades do not meet the minimum entry requirements, will be given an opportunity to demonstrate that they have acquired the pre-requisite competencies for their chosen course through supplementary assessments.
