Singapore University of Social Sciences currently requires its students to go on work attachments for at least six months as part of its graduation requirements.
Many students end up taking on at least two work stints, with a combined duration of up to a year.
The university is proud of its emphasis on applied learning. The acquisition of work experience is one of the reasons the university continues to draw an increasing number of applicants.
SUSS president Cheong Hee Kiat said the university received 5,700 applications this year for its eight full-time degree programmes.
