Alumnus, Diploma in Marine Engineering
2024 DMR Gold Medallist

When I finished my N-levels, I wasn't sure what path to take, but I knew one thing: Singapore's ports play a key role in the country's foundation, and the maritime industry is always in demand. That's why I chose SP's Diploma in Marine Engineering (DMR) – the course offers a broad exposure to various engineering disciplines.

The most exciting part of my experience has been the practical sessions. Combining theory with hands-on activities, like dismantling marine components and welding, really brought the learning to life. My internship at PSA Marine also provided valuable insights into the industry's future, especially in sustainability and decarbonization.

To anyone considering SP or DMR, I’d say, “The future depends on what we do today.” This course builds a strong foundation, opening doors to a versatile career in engineering. As for my future, I’m aiming to pursue further studies in renewable energy or explore work-study programs to deepen my industry knowledge.
