Learning is a<br />

two-way street at<br />

NYP. Lecturers don’t<br />

just teach; they have lively<br />

discussions with us too. Being<br />

able to approach them any time<br />

for a chat and to share ideas has<br />

helped me develop my<br />

passion for design and<br />

become a better<br />

a wealth of industry<br />

experience that we draw<br />

from to make learning<br />

interesting and to nurture<br />

students’ innovative spirit.<br />

When I was a student here, my<br />

lecturers inspired me to excel<br />

professionally and now,<br />

I want to inspire my<br />

students in the<br />

same manner!<br />

The campus is<br />

constantly refreshed,<br />

with facilities upgraded<br />

and new ones added<br />

every few years. I got to<br />

Joey’s three years at NYP<br />

can only be described as<br />

action-packed. He was not just<br />

on top of his studies, he also<br />

took on leadership roles in three<br />

Manage your time well by<br />

drawing up a daily plan and<br />

sticking to it.<br />

Balance out the stress of your<br />

studies by joining at least one<br />

CCA, where you can build a<br />

strong network of friends.<br />

Being a mentor has been very meaningful<br />

Caring Environment<br />

My mentor,<br />

my friend<br />

Transitioning to new surroundings can be tough and having someone to<br />

support you can be a great help. At NYP, you have a personal mentor<br />

to confide in, as well as lecturers whom you can turn to<br />

Ms Lee was very generous<br />

with her time and was<br />

constantly asking for updates on<br />

our business projects regardless of<br />

how tired or busy she already was.<br />

She often got us drinks and<br />

biscuits, especially when she knew<br />

we hadn’t had breakfast. These<br />

little acts demonstrated how much<br />

she truly cared. My class even<br />

nicknamed Ms Lee ‘mama’ because<br />

we liked her so much and even<br />

now, I make it a point to keep in<br />

touch with her.”<br />

Chan Ying Ying<br />

Diploma in Business Management (Retail)<br />

Class of 2015<br />

Helping students excites<br />

and inspires me and it’s<br />

hardly a chore when they display<br />

good attitude and are eager to<br />

learn. Ying Ying was enthusiastic<br />

in class, self-disciplined and<br />

always on time, which is a rare<br />

virtue nowadays. Though she<br />

lacked some business creativity<br />

and required a lot of guidance in<br />

the beginning, she was receptive<br />

to ideas and advice given to her,<br />

and she had the drive to succeed.<br />

These are qualities that will serve<br />

her well and ensure success<br />

in whatever she chooses to<br />

take on.”<br />

Ms Lee Gek Keow<br />

Senior Lecturer,<br />

School of Business Management<br />

5 benefits of<br />

having a mentor<br />

Develop greater<br />

self-esteem and<br />

confidence<br />

Your mentor is there to<br />

support and guide you<br />

through challenges.<br />

Achieve better grades<br />

Research shows<br />

students with mentors<br />

generally do better<br />

Expand your network<br />

Your mentor may<br />

know of options and<br />

opportunities that can<br />

offer you academic and<br />

personal growth.<br />

Strengthen your<br />

communication and<br />

social skills<br />

Build on these<br />

soft skills through<br />

regular interactions<br />

with your mentor.<br />

Set focused<br />

career goals<br />

Your mentor can<br />

offer good insight,<br />

help you fine-tune<br />

your chosen career<br />

ASEAN Youth Camp<br />

Kun Yao was one of five student<br />

delegates from Singapore who<br />

attended the 2015 ASEAN Youth<br />

Camp, held in Nakhon Pathom<br />

Province. The biennial camp<br />

aims to strengthen bonds in<br />

the ASEAN region through the<br />

younger generation. Kun Yao<br />

had the opportunity to engage<br />

with peers from different<br />

countries and experience the<br />

art of Thai drawing and painting. Through the cross-cultural<br />

interactions, he learnt to appreciate different languages and social<br />

and cultural norms, and found it especially interesting to discover<br />

that many of them had a keen interest in ‘Singlish’.<br />

Though we all come from different ASEAN<br />

countries, we share more similarities than I<br />

had thought. It was a great time of learning<br />

from one another.”<br />

was attending a student tutorial group session and participating<br />

in a lively discussion on the different types of infections and their<br />

treatments. She also visited hospitals in Melbourne to observe the<br />

local healthcare settings and processes, as well as understand<br />

more about the unique challenges they faced.<br />

Every student should not miss out on going for<br />

exchanges or study trips. The new experiences<br />

you’ll have while studying in a different country and<br />

learning from another culture are simply priceless.”<br />

Lions-Netherlands Exchange<br />

While on the inaugural Lions-Netherlands Exchange — a<br />

collaboration between NYP and the University of Applied<br />

Sciences (UAS) in Leiden — Mardhiyah spent two action-packed<br />

weeks going on excursions and field trips around the Netherlands<br />

with a team of UAS students, including taking part in a molecular<br />

cooking demonstration by a Michelin-starred chef. These<br />

outings helped them in their challenge to develop a showcase<br />

that highlighted a future smart city where technology is being<br />

harnessed for food sustainability, such as the one being built in<br />

the Dutch city of Almere. Working with her Dutch hosts on the<br />

project brought out cultural, behavioural and even sleep pattern<br />

differences, but it was an experience Mardhiyah would repeat in<br />

a heartbeat.<br />

The world becomes your<br />

classroom when you’re living<br />

and travelling so far away from home.<br />

I’ve become more independent and<br />

whose portfolio includes Crowne Plaza Hotel and School of the<br />

Arts, Hong Xuan was involved in the production of a number of<br />

projects. She has seen a marked improvement in her ability to<br />

wield software that is key to an architect’s job, after having to<br />

use various software to create and beautify design drawings.<br />

She also actively proposed the use of different designs and<br />

material finishes for some projects.<br />

The chance to be part of the team and get involved in design<br />

projects from the start was particularly enriching and she believes<br />

it will give her a competitive advantage when she joins the<br />

working world in future.<br />

Honing creativity ABROAD<br />

Hong Kong was home for Joyce for three months when she<br />

was doing her attachment with Carbon TV, a boutique motion<br />

graphics and design studio. There, she experienced first-hand<br />

the dynamic nature of an independent studio and how vital<br />

teamwork was. It was also a chance to put what she had learnt in<br />

NYP to practice under the guidance of Carbon’s creative director<br />

Tereza Tan and art director Jacky Lo, and to be involved in the<br />

filming of a channel ad for an actual client was an eye-opening<br />

experience for her.<br />

The internship has helped Joyce professionally and personally<br />

as she gained a better understanding of the skills required to<br />

excel in the digital media industry and where a career in this field<br />

would take her.<br />

Gitu spent six exciting months at Saint Pierre, a French fine<br />

dining restaurant in Sentosa Cove, learning the ins and outs of<br />

running a successful food & beverage (F&B) establishment under<br />

the tutelage of prominent chef and restaurateur Emmanuel<br />

Stroobant. She was involved in kitchen service and operations<br />

at the front of house, where she picked up valuable tips on<br />

food-and-wine pairings.<br />

Gitu got a real taste of how hard F&B professionals work, but<br />

it did not put her off the F&B industry. She is currently studying<br />

for a bachelor’s degree in culinary arts at the Culinary Institute<br />

of America and credits her work experience at Saint Pierre for<br />

helping her to snag a place at the prestigious school.<br />

Behind the numbers<br />

There is no better place to learn the ropes of managing money<br />

properly than at Singapore’s central bank, Monetary Authority<br />

of Singapore (MAS), which holds the strings to the country’s<br />

pockets. Adrian spent nearly three months as a vacation trainee<br />

at MAS’ Financial Markets Development Department and enjoyed<br />

the exposure to a vibrant work environment where decisions<br />

and projects that are implemented have an actual impact on the<br />

wider society.<br />

Under the guidance of his warm and approachable senior<br />

colleagues, Adrian also found himself improving on his written<br />

and spoken communication.<br />

A bright<br />

path ahead<br />

An array of possibilities awaits you as an NYP graduate. Embark<br />

on an exciting career, try your hand at entrepreneurship or pursue<br />

further education — just like these graduates<br />

My journey to a degree in nursing has<br />

not been easy and I’m very grateful to<br />

NYP for giving me a platform to shine and grow.<br />

Initially, I had some fears about keeping up<br />

academically as I had worked as a nurse for a<br />

couple of years before enrolling in NYP, but my<br />

wonderful and nurturing lecturers were very<br />

encouraging. They drilled into me the need to<br />

assess patients swiftly and effectively, and the<br />

experiences they shared have been invaluable.<br />

I was able to do well in my studies and be<br />

awarded a full scholarship for my nursing<br />

degree, allowing me to fulfil my dreams and<br />

deliver the best care to my patients.”<br />

been involved in producing some of<br />

At NYP, I didn’t just learn about<br />

product design. I also gained<br />

marketing and planning expertise. My<br />

lecturers had worked in the industry<br />

before so they were in tune with the<br />

industry’s processes and requirements,<br />

and they often shared with us the little<br />

things that could make a difference in<br />

getting our designs and ideas accepted.<br />

They also offered very practical advice,<br />

such as time-efficient strategies that<br />

came in very useful when I went on<br />

A Running Start with PFP<br />

Through lectures, tutorials and project work in the Polytechnic Foundation<br />

Programme (PFP), I learnt to study smart and understand various concepts,<br />

rather than simply memorising them for exams. When I started Year 1, I was already<br />

familiar with the academic system at NYP and could settle in quickly while my peers<br />

were still adapting to their new environment. With PFP, I bypassed ‘O’ Levels, got<br />

direct entry into my chosen diploma course and a head start in my studies.”<br />
