Academic Partners
We partner with Scotland’s top employability university; the University of Dundee and the University of Stirling to deliver their Master and Degree programmes off-shore in Singapore so as to provide our students with a progression pathway to their highest level of achievement.
We have partnered with Edith Cowan University (Australia) to deliver their Graduate Certificate in Mental Health program in Singapore, with a progression pathway to their Masters in Mental Health studies.
Our lecturers are industry professionals and degree programmes are delivered with a 100% flown-in faculty from our partner University.
In order to enhance the employability skills of our graduates, we team up with industry partners to provide our students with practical attachments. For eg, in our Tourism and Hospitality programme, students get to practice in a few large Food & Beverage/Hospitality Establishments, in our Biomedical Science programmes, our students get to do Real Experiments in Real Laboratory as we team up with a Research Company for our students to experience the real environment and for degree students, they could conduct their own independent research project for publication.
We are proud to engage Gene Oasis (GO) as our Industrial partner in Singapore. Therefore, our biomedical students are able to gain their practical knowledge at the real-life industry at Gene Oasis (GO) and give the opportunity to conduct their own independent research project for publication.
