  The Education Ministry will open up another 1,000 university places this year, bringing the total number of places at the six universities, including the Singapore Institute of Technology and SIM University to 14,000.

  This means the Government will reach the target of providing university places for 30 per cent of an age group a year earlier than planned.

  Education Minister Heng Swee Keat announced this in a Facebook post today as he congratulated SIT on being gazetted an autonomous university.

  With the new status the five-year-old SIT can confer its own degrees, unlike before when it awarded only joint degrees with overseas institutions, such as Glasgow University and the Technical University of Munich.
