It's a Game-Changer
NYP has fundamentally transformed teaching and learning with NYP-PCM. This model reimagines what a poly education is by moving away from teaching subjects, like maths and physics, separately in silos. Instead, it is structured around competencies for the workplace.
Simply put, you will learn the relevant knowledge and skills needed, and how they all work together, in work tasks. So, rather than learn the A to Z of physics, you will learn the specific bits of maths, plus the exact engineering know-how to obtain and analyse data from smart sensors, and top it all off with public speaking skills — so that you can present your findings and make your work count.
And, these are our Trailblazers
Currently, these are the NYP diplomas that feature the new model:
School of Design and Media
C29 Animation, Games & Visual EffectsNEW
(merger of Animation & Visual Effects and Digital Game Art & Design)
C28 Common Design & Media ProgrammeNEW
C30 Communication & Motion DesignNEW
(merger of Visual Communication and Motion Graphics Design)
C32 Experiential Product & Interior Design
(merger of Interaction Design into Experiential Product & Interior Design)
School of Engineering
School of Information Technology
