Bridge the gap between classroom and career through NYP's Internship Programme. We partner with leading companies like JP Morgan, DBS and Accenture to place our final-year students in real-world IT environments, so you’ll be guided by experienced mentors as you refine your business and fintech skill set. This immersive experience lets you gain practical knowledge, grow your network, and boost your resume.

“Geared with technical skills like application development and cloud solutioning; and soft skills like pitching and presentation, and personal branding, I was prepared to overcome a deep learning curve at SAS. I explored unfamiliar topics such as advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI applications, all while working on real-world problems that added value to the company and its clients. This experience allowed me to be flexible and adaptable within any situation, pushed me to step out of my comfort zone, and continuously challenge myself." – Chan Jing Rong.

Completing all prescribed Dip-Plus (DP) programmes may also exempt students from Mathematics modules at the following universities: 

• National University of Singapore: Students who pass all three NYP Mathematics DP modules (Analytical Geometry, Applied Calculus, and Advanced Calculus), will be exempted from "MA1301 Introductory Mathematics".
• Nanyang Technological University: Students with good grades in all three NYP Mathematics DP modules (Analytical Geometry, Applied Calculus, and Advanced Calculus) may be exempted from Mathematics modules offered by various engineering schools at NTU. Exemptions will be reviewed and granted on a case-by-case basis.
