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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
