Humanities Talent Development

This Humanities Talent Development programme helps students to develop a deeper knowledge of the Humanities subjects. Under this broad programme, there are 3 subject-based Talent Development Programmes (TDPs) and an interdisciplinary Humanities Scholarship and Programme (HSP). Learn more about it.

Overview

The Humanities Talent Development programme helps students to develop a deeper knowledge of Economics, Geography and History. The programme helps students to appreciate Singapore’s national identity and interests in relation to the region and the world. Students will get to engage in deep conversations and discussions about challenges and opportunities that Singapore faces as well as regional and international developments.

The programme helps to develop student’s critical thinking, discernment, cultural sensitivity and empathy for others in society. Based on the 21st Century Competencies (21CC) framework, it equips students with key skills as they enter university and the workforce.

About TDPs and HSP

This programme comprises 3 subject-based TDPs for students from secondary schools, junior colleges and Millennia Institute, and an interdisciplinary HSP that caters to Humanities Scholars.
