Hard Skills Modules
Each industry track is characterised by the hard skills clusters an individual should possess to align closely to the industry. The faculty has consulted the different departments and stakeholders to establish what these hard skills clusters are, and to identify which modules could impart these skills to the students.
These curated hard skills modules span across the different majors which students could choose from to read and fulfill their major or degree requirements while working towards an industry track of their choice.
To fulfill the industry track requirements, students will read 8 MCs worth of modules - at least 2 modules relating to 2 different hard skills clusters of the targeted industry track.
