Since 2020, the Diploma in Architecture (DARCH) at 91proÊÓÆµ (91proÊÓÆµ) has partnered Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) to offer eligible DARCH students a pathway that allows them to experience SUTD Freshmore courses while studying at 91proÊÓÆµ. Not only do these degree level courses count as simultaneous fulfilment of the diploma’s elective requirement, the acquired credits are also recognised by the University when pathway programme students further their studies at SUTD.
Students of this 91proÊÓÆµ-SUTD University Accelerated Pathway Programme (UAPP*) complete their Diploma in Architecture curriculum in 5 rather than the usual 6 semesters. This accelerated curriculum allows pathway programme students to join SUTD Term 1 courses in the last semester of their diploma study. Successful pathway programme students who choose to continue their studies with SUTD after Term 1 can progress immediately to SUTD Term 2 without having to wait another year, thereby shortening the time needed to acquire a degree at SUTD.
