TOWARDS A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE, IN A PROGRESSIVE SINGAPORE

At Nanyang, we begin with your future in mind.

Having sealed a reputation as an international academic hub, Singapore is fast extending her frontiers in identifying courses to adapt to the country’s ever changing economic climate. 

First, to better meet industry demands by improving quality in the private education sector, two new stat boards will be introduced - SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), overseen by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Workforce Singapore (WSG, currently known as WDA), under the Ministry of Manpower1 . The current arrangement will see Council for Private Education (CPE)2 subsumed under the MOE, playing a key role in uplifting the standards of the private education industry as well as in guiding post-secondary and poly graduates in their career decisions. 

Next, with the Ministry of Trade Industry3 having identified six future growth industries as pharmaceutical, banking, finance, business, aerospace and healthcare, this new arrangement will see notable Private Educational Institutes (PEI) offering an extensive range of programmes including Diploma up to Masters to address these growth demands. 

One such programme is the Specialist Diploma in Business Administration awarded by Nanyang Institute of Management, which offers the opportunity to embark on an accelerated pathway to earning a Master’s, with the bonus of a Bachelor award from the Trine University, USA. 

This programme provides the prerequisite knowledge of business operations as well as effective leadership and management skills through a mix of theory lessons and exercises that present a variety of business situations. With the expected surge in the finance and banking industry, the sector will see to a growing focus on regulation, raising the demand for compliance, audit and risk professionals with such background skills, both in Singapore and across the region4 . 

With degree conferred by Trine University, USA, and over 25,000 alumni member across the globe, these courses are meant for poly graduates, 3-year diploma holders, aspiring professionals as well as mid-career switchers, keen to join this business and finance sector. 

At heart, Nanyang prides a culture that holds the learning needs of a student, above all.
