“SIM offers a great studying experience with a vibrant learning environment, diverse selection of programmes to choose from, advanced facilities, and passionate people around. I chose SIM because the ranking of Singapore’s education system is relatively high in comparison to other countries in Asia, and the living environment is dynamic and convenient.”

“When I first started looking for a major in Computer and Network Security for my tertiary education, SIM University of Wollongong has an industry wide reputation for professionals graduating from this course. My university course was instrumental in providing me with the basic and necessary ammunition to my arsenal. During our course, we learnt the basic building blocks about systems security and allowed me to strengthen my core basics about the subject. The lessons learnt and the knowledge gained during my university is invaluable and gave me a head start in my Cyber Security career.”

“Back then, it was difficult for me to communicate in English, I’m afraid that I would not be able to cope up with my study. However, I’m so lucky and grateful that I found a lot people that were willing to help me get through my adjusting period especially during my diploma time. They were my classmates and my teachers. I remembered that some of my teachers were so patient in teaching us at class, they would not stop until we’re able to understand the module.”

“I chose to study at SIM as it is close to home and offers a great learning environment. There’s a lot of similarities between the culture in Malaysia and Singapore, allowing me to adapt quickly here. The lecturers in SIM are also friendly and approachable.”

“I chose SIM in Singapore because it is close to home. The curriculum offered in SIM is the same as that offered on-campus in University of Wollongong. Course fees are more affordable and the school has well-equipped facilities and vibrant student life.”

“SIM has global partnerships with universities from many countries and SIM is University of London’s (UOL) biggest partner in Asia. The lectures are not only run by local lecturers but also lecturers from UK. So in SIM-UOL, I can learn both styles of teaching, UK and Singaporean. United Kingdom is origin of modern accounting and Singapore is the financial hub of Asia. So pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in SIM was a very precious opportunity for me. Also the degree is developed and led by London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the prestigious university in UK. Studying in SIM was an invaluable experience. One of the best parts of studying in SIM is the diversity of students. I made friends from various countries and studying with them was amazing. It helped me to have a deep understanding on the topics and have the ability to think differently. “

“SIM GE has a wide variety of clubs offered to the student community and that was one of the benefits that I took advantage of. The experiences there helped me significantly in my first job after graduation and even today, because they allowed me to explore my interests and learn many transferrable soft skills. My time with SIM-UB has helped me to gain a wide conceptual knowledge base with relevant hands-on experience. In addition to the technical skills I learnt, there are many soft skills I picked up such as networking, negotiating and building rapport, with people of different races and cultures, which had made a difference in my journey thus far.”

“As a Taiwanese, Singapore is where I actively explore and allow my curiosity to flourish. As a student, SIM is where I get to learn from international faculty who are passionate and professional. Besides earning a well-recognized degree, I had the opportunity to work with people from various countries and backgrounds, allowing me to improve my English and grow new perspectives on culture, learning and life.”
Sahapat Lumsombat
“As I wanted an LSE-led degree by UOL and also somewhere closer to home, SIM naturally became my choice. The UOL qualification is highly regarded by employers in Thailand, and I’m glad that the academic rigour of UOL programmes has prepared me to be someone with consistency and resilience.
Throughout my student life, I joined a variety of student clubs and enjoyed meeting people from different backgrounds. In the process, I managed to gather several other Thai students and found the SIM Thai Student Club, in hopes that future Thai students can find their second family here at SIM, Singapore.”
“Over the years, I have worked with many SIM graduates. My impression of them is that they are passionate and forthcoming. They know what they want to achieve, be it in the short term or over the long term. One main quality that comes to my mind when I think of SIM Students is their excellent work ethic and their efficiency in getting the job done.” (2019)
