not really interested. Just taking up the NIE progarmme to get
to the local uni course i want though. But actually its not bad.
just that the 5 years bond which is included.
To sinner: For NIE, i heard from my fren that if u take up the
contract, ur degree cert behind will write a ( NIE ). This is
useless because u will have to be teacher for life. ( which i dun
think i want )
( NIE Diploma students won't though, since they are not NTU
students to begin with. ) what is this? i dun understand it at all
though.
and also my gpa is 2.9 ( fked up at the 5th semseter which i onli
got 1.9gpa ) so hoping to go the local uni is impossible unless i
sign contract with NIE.
O ya u think NUS psychology will accept me??
1. You are bonded for 4 years for the degree courses, 5 years is
for 2 of the diploma courses - The general diploma course is only 3
years. Anyway you can choose to be not bonded and pay for yourself.
Be warned that the NIE degree is one of the most expensive degrees
across all three unis (You will need to fork out about 116k)
2. Having an education cert means you are stuck with the
education sector. Most who do not go for higher education or enter
management-level in school or MOE usually ends up as private tutors
anyway.
3. NIE does not offer degrees only, they have diplomas, prep
programs, special programs, AED programs, masters....etc. Only
those taking the degree programs and above are considered students
of NTU.
4. Psychology also quite hard to enter. You can try ADM if you
have the background, or nursing if you have the interest and is
willing to commit.
