For instance, every year our students spend two weeks in Japan with the students of Kanazawa Technical College. Likewise, students from the Hiroshima Institute of Technology come here to experience our campus life. Alternatively, students from other parts of the world are attached to our academic departments for a different learning experience. Those who want an experience out of the ordinary have ventured to places as far as Mongolia and benefited much from everything including downing mare's milk. Industrial Attachments Overseas work and study attachments are another benefit arising from our close connections with these foreign institutions.
Students also gain insights into the workings of foreign companies.
Training for Developing Countries In promoting international relations, Singapore Polytechnic provides training and expertise to regional countries such as Vietnam and to countries as far away as Tibet and Africa. Participation in the United Nations Development Programme's Technical Co-operation among Developing Countries is one example. We are glad that many top government officials and eminent academics from all over the world visit our Polytechnic throughout the year. This enables us to build more ties with foreign institutions and further cement existing relationships with our academic counterparts. All rights reserved.
