Humanities Programme@NJC
Discover NJC's Humanities Programme, which nurtures future thought leaders through research, enrichment activities, and community service.
The NJC Humanities Programme is a stretch programme for students passionate about the Humanities and consists of:
Advanced Humanities, a 2 year programme in JH3-4 and
The Humanities Integrated Programme (HIP), a 15-month programme in Senior High.
We seek to nurture inspirational Humanities thought leaders who are proactive in serving the community.
The Humanities Programme provides opportunities for students to:
Explore an interdisciplinary humanities curriculum, with humanities research elements;
Enrich themselves through interaction with experts and peers at external conferences, workshops, competitions, internships, international exchanges and learning journeys, as participants, presenters and co-designers; and
Empower themselves through collaborative leadership development opportunities and knowledge-based service projects.
