All NYP Engineering Students to gain additional industry-recognised certifications

With more than 15 industry-recognised certifications embedded into curriculum, NYP engineering students can build in-demand skills and gain recognised credentials as part of their studies — without taking on extra workload.

Published on 10 Dec 2025

To give students a competitive edge, Nanyang Polytechnic’s School of Engineering has integrated 16 industry certifications developed with 13 companies and organisations across its diploma programmes. These certifications help students validate their technical skills while they learn.

 

By working closely with leading engineering partners, we identify both current and emerging skills needed in the industry. This approach aligns with NYP’s Professional Competency Model, where industry partners co-develop and co-deliver curriculum modules, ensuring students graduate with both strong academic foundations and industry-recognised capabilities.

 

Starting 2025, all NYP engineering students will also be Certified AI Practitioners in Engineering (CAIP-Engg) – a national-level certification benchmarking competencies endorsed by AI Singapore.
