Diploma in Applied Chemistry (DAPC)

With strong support from the Economic Development Board (EDB) and good infrastructure, Singapore has, over the years, developed into a world-class chemical hub. Highly diversified, the chemical industry in Singapore comprises the oil refining, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals and water technology sectors. There are currently more than 100 leading petroleum, petrochemical and specialty chemicals companies residing on Jurong Island alone.

Singapore Polytechnic Prospectus 2019/20 95

Additionally, several local, as well as global chemical companies are located within Singapore’s industrial parks.

The biomedical industry, currently serving as the largest contributor to value-added manufacturing, is another key industry. It is therefore not surprising that it has been earmarked by the EDB as another key focus area. Thus far, over 30 global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have set up their international and regional headquarters in Singapore.

Singapore is also a global hub for materials creation and innovation. According to the EDB, the materials and chemical industry is poised for further growth as more world- scale chemical plants and R&D facilities come on stream. Developments across many sectors drive the demand for advanced and specialty materials. These include applications in the fields of polymers, A HEAD START The Pharmaceutical Science option nanomaterials, composites, elastomers, Offered only at SP, the Diploma in Applied integrates chemistry with biological adhesives and coatings and clean energy Chemistry (DAPC) is a three-year, full-time sciences to prepare you for a career in the technologies such as membrane technology programme tailored to meet the needs of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical and photovoltaic cells. the chemical, biomedical and materials sectors.

Diploma in Optometry (DOPT)

Optometry is part of the primary healthcare system and is the study of visual defects and functional disorders of the eye. The scope of Optometry includes managing refractive errors (such as myopia and presbyopia) through spectacle and contact lens correction, managing binocular vision problems such as lazy eyes, and detecting common eye diseases (such as cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma).

The Diploma in Optometry (DOPT) is a 3-year full-time course which aims to produce professionally competent optometrists serving as primary eye care health practitioners. The emphasis is on serving patients, and the clinical content of the course begins in the first week, increasing steadily through the three-year programme.

The Ministry of Health and employers have projected good demand for graduate optometrists due to the high prevalence of myopia in children and a rapidly ageing population. We were the first tertiary institution in Singapore to offer this course in 1994. As registered optometrists with the Optometrists and Opticians Board, our graduates have enjoyed excellent employment opportunities in the private and public sectors.

at optical outlets to further enhance their Optometry skills.

Opportunities also exist for students to undertake overseas community service projects and possible attachments to hospitals or optometry schools abroad.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND FURTHER EDUCATION With the high myopia rates and ageing population in Singapore, there will be a healthy demand for optometrist in the coming years. Our graduates will be well suited for employment as optometrists in private practice or as salaried employees of eye-care related companies. Government hospitals and some statutory PRACTICAL TRAINING with patients in Year 1 and continue with bodies also routinely employ optometrists.
