SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC

Singapore Polytechnic (Abbreviation: SP) is an institution of higher learning in Singapore. It is also the first polytechnic established in Singapore. It was founded on 27 October 1954 to provide studies, training and research in technology, science, commerce and the arts. The former campus was originally located at Prince Edward Road and was relocated to its present-day location at Dover next to Dover MRT Station in 1978. As an industry-oriented alternative to a broader based junior college education, polytechnic graduates in Singapore are sought after for work or many continue to complete university degrees. In contrast to polytechnics in the United States and UK, polytechnics in Singapore admit majority of its students after secondary school which is after 10 years of formal education. Diplomas in a specialised area of study, for example Biomedical Science, are awarded after completing 3 or 2 years of studies.
2010 saw Singapore Polytechnic's 50th graduation ceremony and 150,000th graduate. In 2018, Singapore Polytechnic became the first polytechnic to achieve a milestone of 200,000 graduates.
In 2018, Faculty of Accounting – Ton Duc Thang University has signed the MOU with SP for the collaboration of exchange students, summer program and internship program for students of two parties.

In 2020, and then 2022 and then 2023, Faculty of Accounting – Ton Duc Thang University continued to develop meaningful collaboration with SP through 03 successful batch of exchange internship programs. SP students spent around 03-04 months at Ton Duc Thang University to conduct their internship course.
