WHY PURSUE

Health and
Social Sciences?

AN AGEING SOCIETY
By 2030, the number of people aged 65 and
above is projected to increase from 430,000
today to more than 900,000, and make up
20% of the population1. An ageing society
would mean a greater need for healthcare
services and providers.

MEANINGFUL AND
REWARDING INDUSTRY
You can look forward to a fulfilling career,
impacting the lives of individuals and
communities in hospitals, polyclinics, specialist
centres, intermediate and long-term care
facilities, schools, or social care industries.

PROGRAMMES TO MEET THE


NEEDS OF SOCIETY
SIT offers entry-level honours degree
programmes in Diagnostic Radiography,
Dietetics and Nutrition, Physiotherapy,
Radiation Therapy, Occupational Therapy,
Speech and Language Therapy, as well
as a post-registration honours degree in
Nursing. Co-created with clinical partners
and stakeholders, the curriculum fosters
interprofessional learning and adopts a
systems thinking approach where clinical
practice education forms an integral part of
the programme.

Health and Social Sciences 03


Applied Research
Our students are given the opportunity to work on applied research projects with our faculty,
healthcare, and government organisations, to benefit the wider community. Such projects can
also involve students and faculty members from multiple disciplines and address either clinical,
professional, or community problems that require holistic solutions.

Design Solutions for Special


Needs Classrooms and Furniture
in Singapore
An SIT team from the Health and Social
Sciences, Engineering, and Business,
Communication and Design clusters, worked
with a social service agency to design
appropriate seating that provides stability
and manoeuvrability in the classroom for
children with developmental disabilities. This
will improve the engagement and learning of
children with special needs in Singapore.

Virtual Reality Mobility Training


(VRMT)
A team of Physiotherapy students are
collaborating with our Engineering and
Infocomm Technology students and faculty
members, as well as Ng Teng Fong General
Hospital to design a Virtual Reality Mobility
Training (VRMT) system. This will allow
users such as patients with dementia, who
cannot ambulate outside safely, to walk in
an environment that is familiar to them while
staying in a nursing home.

04 Singapore Institute of Technology


Enhancing Vocational Ability of
Patients Through Augmented
Reality Games
Our Occupational Therapy and Infocomm
Technology faculty members have teamed up
with Bizlink Centre Singapore Ltd to develop
a gamified vocational rehabilitation platform
using augmented reality (AR) for persons with
cognitive problems. This will enable them to
improve their vocational skills and undergo
training in a fun and safe environment.

Teaming Up to Study the


Effectiveness of Running Sandals
A team of final-year Physiotherapy students
were part of a multidisciplinary collaboration
with some engineering students and faculty
members to study lower limb muscle activities
using running sandals. The data collected
could help allied health practitioners, especially
physiotherapists, understand the risks and
potential muscle strain runners could face when
running using this minimalist footwear.

Encouraging Seniors’ Use of


Digital Tools
In collaboration with Tsao Foundation’s
Community for Successful Ageing, our
Nursing students and faculty members have
produced video clips to guide seniors in
using Zoom. This will encourage them to
keep in touch with family and friends and
participate in social activities.

Diagnostic Radiography like to thank them for their support when I
decided to embark on this career switch.

Before studying at SIT


I was an education officer with the Ministry of
Education at the primary level for a decade.
Having an interest in the medical field since
young, I seized the opportunity to pursue
Diagnostic Radiography through the Career
Conversion Programme (CCP).

One song to describe my SIT experience


‘Try Everything’ by Shakira.

Being an adult learner


Beginning at entry-level as a Year 1
undergraduate takes humility. Starting from
scratch where your past experiences might
not count for much is challenging. But I
treat it as a second chance to do better and
view this as a gateway to more employment
opportunities.

Tip on having a school-life balance
