You would have heard that Singapore is the world’s busiest port! But that’s not all. We are also the world’s leading oil rig builder and ship conversion centre. To prep you for a bright future in this thriving industry, our Diploma in Marine & Offshore Technology (MOT) will train you in naval architecture and offshore technology, which are among the most sought-after specialist skills in Singapore’s maritime industry.
With MOT, you will learn to design and build your own ship models, and test them in Singapore’s only towing tank located in our campus. Our strong emphasis on Design Thinking and Practice will give you an edge in creating innovative solutions for using clean energy, developing new materials and processes, as well as designing and building marine vessels and offshore structures.
Thanks to MOT’s close links with key industry players, you will also go on frequent study trips to gain industry exposure. You can expect in-depth industry training that will equip you with job-relevant skills and knowledge and stand you in good stead when you join the industry upon graduation!
In the first two years, you will be grounded with strong fundamentals of engineering, as well as naval architecture, marine engineering and ship design, and offshore technology.
Enhanced internships have also been rolled out for MOT students. In your final year, you will intern at a host company in the marine and offshore industry for six months. Part of the national SkillsFuture initiative, this programme allows you to better apply the skills you have learnt in the classroom to the workplace.

You will also take up a business management elective such as Managing Service Operations, Supply Chain Management and Understanding Buyer Behaviour.
