Republic Polytechnic (RP) is the fifth and newest polytechnic in Singapore. Completed in 2006, Republic Polytechnic’s 20-hectare Woodlands campus has facilities to allow it to cater for up to about 13,000 students, as well as residents of the community.
RP has six schools of study –

In addition, RP has four learning centres –
- Centre for Culture and Communication

One of the distinguishing features of Republic Polytechnic’s education system is its unique adaptation of Problem Based Learning. The key objective is to add value to each student’s intellectual make-up in terms of problem-solving process skills, life-long learning attitude and ready-to-use knowledge, as the student progresses to become a diploma holder.
Graduates will be knowledgeable team players who have acquired skills necessary to handle situations, tackle problems and complete tasks in a knowledge-driven environment.
