Program Overview

Student Researcher Programme

The Student Researcher Programme (SRP) is designed to build manpower to fulfill Singapore's needs in the area of cyber security. While several educational programs offered by the local Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) – universities and polytechnics – have a similar objective, the SRP offers a complementary opportunity for local IHL students to get trained in an environment that maintains rarely available hardware and software infrastructure.
