Post 7 - so, why SUTD

Post 7

So, why SUTD?

I am drawn to SUTD because of its unique pedagogy. To me, SUTD is different from the mainstream universities because of the following 4 reasons.

With the lowest student to faculty ratio of 11:1, the quality of teaching is enhanced as the professor will have greater bandwidth to customize his or her teaching to fit the needs and learning styles of a student.

I am also attracted to the hands-on learning styles. Unlike in Secondary School and Junior College, where the huge focus was on theories and concepts, SUTD allows its students to test concepts through hands-on experimentation (which makes learning more fun and interactive, and therefore better understood and remembered).

Through videos on YouTube, I was also inspired by the SUTD Internships that I will be exposed to. With more than 50 industry partners, SUTD brings its student a step closer to their dream careers. This is encouraging because I want a bright career too.

Lastly, unlike other universities, SUTD allows its students to have flexibility in designing their curriculum. Being able to take a course across faculty will allow students to have an all-rounded education, whilst at the same time being able to pursue their passion and interests.
