Deg in Biomedical or Electronics from UniSIM

NightRoad SG · 2005-10-10T11:07:51+00:00

well I wanted to be an engineer so either course would allow me to when I graduate, my dilemma is that I am more concern about the job market for biomedical...

NightRoad SG

hello to all,
I would like to find out whether is it more worth to study deg in biomedical engineering or deg in electronics in UniSIM. I have a dip in electronics and wanted to study part time with this new university.
How is the market for this 2 degrees?

Should I choose biomedical or electronics and what would u all recommend and do give ur comments or advises?? thanks

laurence82 SG

First and foremost, what is ur interest?

NightRoad SG

both, I'm interested in biomedical as its a new course and I like to know more about human body and putting technology to solve problems.... I'm also interested in electronics as I like to play with computers etc so which should I take?

boy in blues SG

Shocked oo nia boh?
they got lab facilities meh?
which overseas uni give out their degree?

laurence82 SG

UniSIM leh, not foreign uni

and yesh i think there are labs, but not at Clementi campus i believe, at Bukit Timah campus

as for biomedical or electronics, i am not sure abt the market

boy in blues SG

orrrh....
so lab must take bus to hwa chong there ah?
old SIM used to give degree from UOL n RMIT, no meh?

i'm not too sure abt the marketing but my cousein who juz came back with a 1st clz honour of electronics from the UK University of Southampthon degree.... got a job that gives him $2400/mth incl OT....

Biomedical is also nice... consider avg course in SG, but taking it overseas is better... or take it in NUS/NTU is recommended... not that i'm bias... but this kinda course is good from govt Unis if u wanna work in SG.

laurence82 SG

thats the foreign uni part, where they now include University of Buffalo

the Open Uni Centre, where they used to issue their own diplomas, or UK OPen Uni degrees, is now converted to UniSIM, where they are allowed to award their own degrees

ermm... hi laurence~ remember me? thanks alot for ur hlp the other day back there on the Actg rate of return.

Hmm... btw, i tho it's given chance to existing student to choose whether they want their cert from SimUni or Open uni? i'm not sure but my friend from UOL programme told me tht~

boy in blues SG

jee gou cheem yi xia!
no wonder they're now officially the 4th uni because got own degree le

joeacid SG

its official le?! the last time i heard the news is like... it's going to be the 4th official?

erm... and actually, even before it becomes a 4th official Uni.. it can already offers it own degree as a private uni le... it's of no problem de... it's like only how ppl look at it and how much value ppl actually rates it nia

laurence82 SG

whether or not its UniSIM or the British Open Uni, it doesnt concern the UOL or RMIT students

and yesh, u can choose, but then given a choice, i'll go for the UniSIM, since the gahmen lend its backing to this uni

joeacid SG

oic~ What course did u took up at the beginning? i mean what course are u in now?

laurence82 SG

yeah, but they serve mostly the part timers, and dont be surprised, most working people come back to uni not only to upgrade themselves, but also want to learn how to apply theories or models or any business solution to their current jobs or depts

heard it from my lecturers, got to give it to those part timers...

boy in blues SG

all takes time for recognition.
last time NTU also fight like siao against NUS?
but SMU very easy because they give double degree in 4 years.
actually not any tom dick n harry can give own degree.
those MDIS n SIC n dunno what also can't

laurence82 SG

I took the RMIT Biz Ad, now renamed Biz Management Mr. Green

wait wait, lets not deviate from topic, else topic starter cannot get his ans…

joeacid SG

haha okok~ But anyway... he's asking for it's better to take elec or biomedical in SG... its like wat i said earlier on... both can be good and bad... it depends on interest and it'll result in wat kinda result u'll get later on in the course.... and 1st job always comes picking from good results....

It's actually not abt choosing course now... it's the sector of job u wanna do in the future... wat kinda lifestyle do u urge for i the future? and set the target now... that's what i think... at least i believe i did is right and i'm still doing it ~

joeacid SG

ermm.... is the topic starter still ard?

laurence82 SG

prolly sleeping liao
