SIM or SMU ?

zodi SG

yupz... SMU no part time courses leh...

BufPuf SG

if boss ask why dun choose SMU

just say u can't afford to study full time
and since SMU don't provide
u have to choose SIM loh Twisted Evil

hmm...
if study in SIM, yr results must be goot...at least a second honours and above (in my opinion)..if not it's just like a diploma..

if u decide to go into public sector
den i think SMU is better

MooKu SG

agree with bufpuf....

however imo SMU would be a better choice. There are alot more opportunities for you to develop your character and gain experiences from many aspects as compared to SIM. To me it's like, SIM is your house garden whereas SMU is the Botanical Gardens.

At the moment, perhaps people can say that SIM and SMU degrees make graduates equally employable, assuming it's a 2nd upper and above-degree for SIM. But employers may favor SMU graduates because they get the impression that SMU graduates are more well-rounded. In the long run, I think SMU graduates are the ones who will find things easier.

In conclusion, if I only had SIM and SMU to pick from, assuming both will accept me, I will choose SMU.

SMU would be a much more better choice. although the courses are rather long, but u can gain more knowledge and find jobs much more easier. SIM is also rather good and its a private uni,the cost would be rather high.
just follow wat ur mind tink. Very Happy
all the best. u will cum to a decision soon.

monoslayer SG

care to elaborate further?

but nowadays external degrees meaning external papers? they have the same recognition as you study overseas, only different environment sia...
taking a degree from unis like Manchester would mean you study more theory. Degrees frm the states would mean much more practical and australian degrees offer a better combination of both.
Getting a degree is just a stepping stone to enter any company. Of course good results pay off. But in real life, employers value experience more.
Anyway, whatever you studied is probably not what you want to become in real life. You might take a management degree and end up in medical field as a salesperson.
Girls who took their degree also end up working as cabin crews for SIA
Shocked

but how to graduate wif honours in 3 year when the ciriculum is 4 years?
if graduate in 3 years does that means that we onli pay 3 years of sch fees.. sound vv much cheaper to me.. if can grad in 3 years

zodi SG

take courses during summer term.... have to pay for them of coz lah....

some students (esp poly) may enjoy exemptions mah... so less modules required to grad...

to get honours, u must score well consistently (modular system) to get high GPAs... honours awarded to certain grades and above only....

M©+square SG

Super siong...

My friend wanted to do that, but he realised he don't have the capabilities to handle. In his 2nd year now.

heluim SG

tink i cannot make it also.. i am not those kind tt is vv gd at studies wan... if not i haf gone into ntu or nus..
my GPA is like onli 2.78.. quite low compare wif ppl outside..

tink maybe sim is better for weaker students?

monoslayer SG

how do u calculate GPA??

heluim SG

tink is A 4 points
B 3 points
C 2 points
D 1 points..
u can total everything and take the average..

orange88 SG

if you have excellent results, they will grant you honours with a special application

Just a word of advice. SIM is divided into 2. One is UniSim, which is the 4th university u are talking about. The other is one that offers foreign degrees. And UniSIM has 3 criterias. U must be above 21, have A-LEVELS, and also have minimum 2 years working experience. Out of the 3 critieria, u must fulfil 2 of them. as for the other arm, the one that offers foreign degrees, the criteria differs for each course.

Hope it helps!

heluim SG

So is it better to get a degree from uni sim or foreign degree.. yes uni sim is a consider a the 4th uni in sg.. but in terms of world ranking guess they are nothing.. but say for foreign degree.. university like RMIT or Manchester all have their recognition from the world with a certain respected rank..

hello321 SG

smu is better, and somemore central, good location, accessible.

geodome SG

Why not study at the Malaysian Campus of the University of Nottingham?

http://www.unim.nottingham.ac.uk

It is a fully-pledged university with proper facilities. It is in KL and is definitely more recognised than the SIM courses. SIM courses are long-distance courses, whereas the Nottingham degrees are taught and conducted by staff from the University of Nottingham. It is a proper British university in Malaysia.

heluim SG

cos i feel tt University of manchester is one of the best biz university?
then for the malaysia thingy need to go all the way to malaysia might be troublesome man.. wondering how much the sch fees too.. tink the competition will be vv stiff tooo.. cos chinese in malaysia hard to go into the local uni..

geodome SG

competition stiff?

are u a chicken?

it is rat race everywhere..

vincentchean SG

sg style is very cb 1 la....
they dont follow the international methods..
usually in foreign countries
diploma holders got higher chance of entering uni rather then
those who got A lvl. Simply because they had
studied in same field.

in sg for poly they onli allocate 15% !
thats pathetic lor.
