The Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT or Singaporetech) is a public autonomous university in Singapore.[4] The university offers industry-focused, applied degree programmes; it confers its own degree programmes as well as specialised degree programmes with overseas universities.[5]

The university's degree programmes are grouped into five clusters: Engineering (ENG), Food, Chemical and Biotechnology (FCB), Infocomm Technology (ICT), Health and Social Sciences (HSS), and Business, Communication and Design (BCD).[6]

The university's campus is located at 1 Punggol Coast Road in Punggol.[3] This new centralised campus in Punggol is next to the new Punggol Coast MRT station.[7] The university will be integrated with Punggol Digital District built by JTC Corporation in Punggol Downtown and Northshore district.[8][9][10][11][12]
