Overview

In a land-strapped nation like Singapore, development and maintenance of our public transport system is of the utmost importance. A cornerstone of our world-class infrastructure is our urban railway system, and the innovative technologies that drive it.

The SIT Postgraduate Certificate in Urban Railway Technology (PGCert URT) is designed to equip engineering professionals with specialised technical and practical skills to further provide a safe, efficient and reliable mass rapid transit system in Singapore.

The modules can be taken individually or stack towards a PGCert URT, and are each worth 6 credits.
