Overseas Immersion Programme 2024

Newcastle University Home Campus Welcomes Singapore-based Students for Immersive Campus Experience

Student from the Newcastle University – Singapore Institute of Technology (NU-SIT) joint degree programmes in Singapore travelled to the Newcastle University UK campus for the Overseas Immersion Programme (OIP) from 8 to 27 July 2024. 

A compulsory feature of the NU-SIT joint degree programme, the OIP is designed to enrich students’ learning experiences and provide a taste of the Newcastle campus life.

During their stay in the UK, students attended lectures, engaged in hands-on project work, participated in workshops, and went on industry visits. This programme also offered them the chance for the Singapore-based students to interact with their university professors and academic mentors, while exploring the vibrant culture and scenic beauty of England’s north-east region.

The participating OIP students are pursuing the following degree programmes at the SIT campus in Singapore:

• Electrical Power Engineering
• Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering
• Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering

Three students who travelled to Newcastle shared their OIP experience in the following video.
