Established in 2002, RP is renowned for its sports science programmes. It is also the first and only polytechnic in Singapore to use the problem-based learning (PBL) pedagogy for all of its programmes.[1]
Under the problem-based learning (PBL) pedagogy, RP students will typically receive a problem statement from their lecturers at the start of each day before exploring the solutions to the problem in a group of three to five, and presenting the final solution to the class—where students will receive feedback from their lecturers and classmates.
RP's alumni includes five-time Paralympic gold medalist Yip Pin Xiu, 2021 BWF World Championships gold medalist Loh Kean Yew, sprinter Shanti Pereira, and Benjamin Kheng of The Sam Willows.
