SIT pilots 2+2 work-study model, giving students nearly two years of training

The extended work-study programme will begin in September 2027.

The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) will pilot a ‘2+2’ model that will allow selected students to spend almost two years in the workplace through an extended Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP).

The first pilot is scheduled to begin in September 2027 with selected companies and penultimate-year students.

The workplace learning component will run for one year and eight months, compared with the current IWSP duration of eight to 12 months.

SIT said students will spend the first two years of their degree programmes on campus before moving into an extended work-learn phase from their third year.

The initial programmes will include Information Security, Software Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

Students taking part in the initiative will continue to return to campus for micro-credentials and to complete their capstone projects whilst working with industry partners, the institute added.

The announcement comes as SIT begins Academic Year 2026 with more than 3,700 new students, its largest intake to date.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
