Final-Year Project
Final-Year Project (FYP) provides you with the opportunity to showcase the abilities and talents you have acquired during your time at WKWSCI. Since its inception, one of the goals of the Wee Kim Wee Final-Year Project is for students to complete a project that reaches a wider audience than the school. Wee Kim Wee students do campaigns for clients that reach broad audiences. They produce videos that are shown at international festivals and win international competitions. They produce impactful journalism that is published in mainstream media. Our students have a remarkable record of completing research projects that are presented at international conferences and published in international, peer-reviewed academic journals.
