Official (Closed) - Non Sensitive WHO WE ARE Building upon our Heritage Ngee Ann College opened its doors with just 116 students in 1963 and offered courses in language, commerce and technology. The College started offering engineering and commerce courses in 1968, and changed its name to Ngee Ann Technical College to reflect its focus on technical education. 14 years later, in 1968, the College was renamed Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) as courses were revised to promote practical and hands-on training. Five decades on from the Polytechnic’s inauguration, NP has set its sights on nurturing lifelong learners and preparing them for the future workplace. As an advocate of lifelong learning, NP offers a wide range of part-time programmes and short courses through its CET Academy for adult learners to upgrade their skills and knowledge. For the Academic Year commencing in April 2020, the Polytechnic offers post-secondary students a choice of 39 full-time courses (including 3 Common Entry Programmes) through its eight academic schools: School of Business & Accountancy School of Design & Environment School of Engineering School of Film & Media Studies School of Health Sciences School of Humanities & Social Sciences School of InfoComm Technology School of Life Sciences & Chemical Technology Our goal is to develop students who are confident, self-directed, innovative and adaptable – equipped for success in the future economy.
