1 Education and Career Planning At this juncture, you will have to decide which subject combination you should take at SRJC. The choice of your subject combination depends on several factors (see page 3). One important consideration is whether the subjects you study at SRJC will meet the entry requirements for the local universities. Knowing what to study at the university will then require you to be aware of your career aspirations as the knowledge and skills you acquire from a degree prepare you to meet the basic requirements for work. Knowing which career you would like to pursue after graduation will depend on personal factors like your career profile, strengths, interests, abilities and external factors like the labour market demands, job requirements and qualifications needed, and the opinion of significant people in your life. To be able to do this, you would need to embark on the process of education and career planning. Education and career planning requires you to ask yourself the following essential questions. It begins with asking yourself “Who am I?” revisiting your career profile (you can do this by using www.ecareers.sg). This will lead to the next question “Where am I going?” in terms of the potential career and related industry. Next ask yourself “How do I get there?” in terms of the course of study and education pathway you can consider. Having done that, you are encouraged to reflect upon the obstacles you may encounter and find ways to overcome them. Who am I?

• My interests • My strengths • My passions • My personality • My values • My skills • My role models

Where am I going? • Career aspiration

(Preferred occupation/s) • Preferred industry • Do I have other options

besides what I thought of earlier on?

How do I get there? • Course of study at

University • Subject and non-‐subject

requirements for course at University

• Subject combination SRJC • Technical and soft skills • Experience • Scholarships • Local or overseas

What are potential obstacles? • What are the potential challenges I may as I

embark on the JC education – e.g. time management, coping with the demands of the curriculum, etc.

What support do I need? • Who can I talk to get education and career

guidance? (e.g. ECG Counsellor, Civics Tutor, etc.)

• What kind of academic support do I need? • What are the resources available for me in

and out of school?

2 Instructions for using ecareers.sg “Who am I?” Work interest assessment a) Log on to www.ecareers.sg b) Key in NRIC, enter DOB, create a new password by following the instructions (If you have problem, call ecareers.sg helpdesk at 65787492 or 81709688. ci) Under the tab Assessment, click on PGI (Short) ii) Follow the instructions to complete this interest assessment. iii) When you have completed, click on a) Interest profile – to know your top 3 RIASEC code, b) Explore Occupations to explore occupations which are close to your RIASEC profile and c) Full Report which combines your profile and matching occupations. d) Use the hyperlinks under Explore Occupations to find out more: nature of occupation, entry requirements, salary, associations related to this occupation, etc.

Work Values a) Use this hyperlink to find out more about your work values, which motivate you to work and makes you fulfilled in your job and as a person. https://www.123test.com/work-‐values-‐test/ • Your career profile will help you explore occupations that share similar interest, skills and work

values. • When exploring occupation, find out the industry/sector which it comes from.

Where am I going? An industry/sector is a set of activities that produce goods and deliver services that are related to one another. It is made up of professionals/workers who normally share similar core knowledge, skills sets and work interests. 1 There are different occupations within the same industry/sector. 2 Explore the different occupations within each industry/sector. Expand you options. 3 Find out the market demand, nature of work, qualification, skills sets etc. for occupations you are

interested in.

How do I get there? Find out the entry requirements for the particular occupation or cluster of occupations. The requirements include educational qualifications, the specific/general course of study and the various educational institutions that offer that programme.

3 Guiding Questions for Choosing Subject Combinations

1. What are my strengths, interest and passion?

2. What is my future career aspiration?

3. What course of study at the University prepares me to work towards my desired career?

4. Will the subject combination I choose fulfil the University entry requirements?

5. What are the requirements for SRJC Subject Combination?

6. What are the demands/challenges I can expect from a particular combination?

7. Who can I consult to know more about the subject itself?

8. How can I avoid choosing subject due to peer influence?

Annex A

Singapore Management University (SMU) http://www.smu.edu.sg/

Introduction Since 2000, SMU has established a reputation for pushing the boundaries of innovation, creativity and academic excellence in redefining tertiary education. SMU introduced pedagogy previously unseen in Singapore, and has shown how a broad-‐based education and interactive teaching environment in small class sizes produces graduates well-‐prepared for the demands of the real world. Academic Programmes SMU offers six bachelor degree programmes in Accountancy, Business Management, Economics, Information Systems Management, Law, and Social Sciences. Admission Criteria For applicants with H1/H2 level subjects Good passes in at least 3 H2 content-‐based subjects, 1 H1 content-‐based subject, Project Work (PW) and General Paper (GP)/Knowledge & Inquiry (KI). Other acceptable subject combinations include : 4 H2 content-‐based subjects, PW and GP; or 3 H2 content-‐based subjects, PW and KI. https://admissions.smu.edu.sg/sites/admissions.smu.edu.sg/files/admissions/2014/pdf/SMU_2014_Indicative_Grade_Profile_with_FAQ.pdf shows the Indicative Grade Profile. Law Interviews/Writing Tests Law interviews and writing tests for shortlisted applicants are conducted in the month of April. Click here for important information on this. GP / KI Requirements for Law Applicants Law applicants must meet at least one of the following: GP / KI grade of A or B (H1 / H2 level syllabus) GP of B3 or better (A / AO syllabus) Business Management Interviews Shortlisted applicants, including those not residing in Singapore, are required to attend face-‐to-‐face interviews and English writing tests at SMU campus. As such, under normal circumstances, the Lee Kong Chian School of Business does not conduct telephone/Skype interviews. The LKCSB may hold face-‐to-‐face interviews/English writing tests in selected overseas countries if there are a sufficient number of shortlisted candidates. Mathematics Requirement A significant number of courses in the Accountancy and Economics programmes are of a highly quantitative nature. As such, applicants are expected to meet additional requirements in the form of a good pass in Mathematics at H2 Level/A-‐Level/Additional Mathematics at O-‐Level. Applicants who do not have this requirement can still apply for consideration if they have alternative Mathematics content background. The School of Accountancy and School of Economics make the final decision on admission.


23

Mother Tongue Language (MTL) Requirement Unless exempted from Mother Tongue Language (MTL) requirement, applicants must meet one of the following MTL requirements:

-‐ 'S' grade or better in MTL or General Studies in Chinese at H1 Level or Mother Tongue Language and Literature at H2 Level

-‐ D7 grade or better in Higher MTL at O-‐Level -‐ Pass in MTL Syllabus B at A-‐Level

Successful applicants who have not met the MTL requirement will be offered Conditional Admission and are required to satisfy this requirement before graduating from SMU. SAT SAT is not compulsory for applicants applying with Singapore-‐Cambridge GCE A-‐Levels. High scores can be an added advantage, but they do not replace your A-‐Level grades. Scores must reach SMU by 31 May to be considered. A score of 1900 or more will be minimally sufficient for applicants to make a competitive application. Please note that meeting the SAT guideline does not guarantee admission as admission to SMU is competitive and selective. The more competitive schools will usually require scores of more than 2000. SMU will consider SAT scores for tests up to and including the May SAT. For example, to be considered for 2015, the last test to be considered will be the May 2015 SAT. Applicants should therefore take their SAT early and be responsible for ensuring that SAT scores are sent to SMU on time. For the 2015 admission, only the SAT scores obtained in the 5 years up to 31 May 2015 will be considered, that is, SAT scores from tests taken before May 2010 will not be considered. Please visit the College Board website at http://www.collegeboard.com for details on SAT and registration. Applicants should indicate 2861 (SMU Institution Code) on their online SAT registration forms, so that the scores will be sent directly to SMU by College Board. Retaking A-‐Level examinations Applicants who think that they are unlikely to secure admission to SMU in 2015 are advised to consider retaking their A-‐Level examinations in 2015 as private candidates. Registration for the examinations will be conducted in March 2015 by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB). For more details, please visit their website at www.seab.gov.sg or contact the Ministry of Education Customer Service Hotline at 6872-‐2220.

Indicative Grade Profile

What is the Indicative Grade Profile The indicative grade profile refers to the grade scored by applicants at A-‐levels in their three H2 and one H1 subjects for the different courses of study at the local universities.

• The IGP may vary from year to year, depending on the number and performance of applicants and the number of places available.

• Meeting the previous year’s IGP of a course does NOT guarantee admission to that course in the following year.

• Some courses require additional assessments such as interviews, selection tests, and portfolios are required.

• You are also encouraged to visit the university’s website to find out the number of places taken up by courses of study.

For updated and further information, please visit the various universities’ websites.
