Diractal

Diractal is a two-year tertiary education program that was introduced in Singapore in 2004. The program was designed to provide an alternative route to a university degree for students who may not have met the entry requirements for a four-year degree program.

The diractal program typically consists of 120 credits, which are earned through a combination of coursework and examinations. Students in the diractal program are usually between 20 and 30 years old and have been unsuccessful in gaining admission to a university through the traditional A-levels or polytechnic route.

The diractal program offers students the opportunity to gain a university degree in a shorter period of time. Students normally take four semesters to complete the program. The program is also designed to provide students with a broad-based education, with a focus on developing their communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.

There are various diractal programs offered at different institutions in Singapore. Some programs offer specialization in specific fields, such as business, engineering, or humanities. Students who complete the diractal program are awarded a university degree by the institution that they attended.

It is worth noting that the diractal program has been officially discontinued and the last intake of students was in 2007. However, the legacy of the program continues to benefit many Singaporeans who completed the program and have gone on to pursue successful careers in various fields.
