They may both be from SIM, but UNISIM is almost completely different from SIM. UNISIM awards its own degree, and mainly lets adults who has at least 2 years of working experience to get their degree. SIM, on e other hand cooperates with RMIT, UOL, UB etc, and awards their degree. Since u have no working experience, i believe you should pursue with SIM, rather than UNISIM.Originally posted by online55:i thought thought degree u get from SIm..its not frim SIM itself..but from the foreign uni like RMIT and UOL..
And if not wrong, based on my former experience as a student of SIM, UOL business are usually more popular than RMIT business courses. Not sure if its still the trend now. -
actually i prefer UOL to RMIT also ..Originally posted by nanren4ever:They may both be from SIM, but UNISIM is almost completely different from SIM.

but there are several advantages that RMIT provides which is holding me back from UOl..
RMIT is like poly system which i already got used to.
RMIT is easier to make friends i heard.
The degree though dun have honours system..but it doesn't print external on the cert. -
Under the previous Open U system, your NS somewhat counts as the working experience. Not sure of the current UNISIM system. If you wish, you may find out.Originally posted by online55:which 1 do u think a 21 year old should pick?

I don't see a gulf of difference bet UOL and RMIT. Both are based on the British and it's commonwealth systems. These systems stress a lot on understanding academic concepts and acquring language fluency to express them.
One of the main reasons for Poly to be so well received by the employers is that the syllabus is up-to-dated. High time local private unis do so. This is exactly what UNISIM tries to do. Albeit, at the uni level. If you look at the course outlines, you would know.
It is hard to say which degree is more employable. Sometimes, employment, like many things else in life, are the strokes of luck. -
by the way, one question regarding distance learning (e.g: RMIT Business course in SG, affiliated to school) vs. actual learning (RMIT business course in Australia, the school itself).....
distance learning is way cheaper and more convinient, why people still want to pay extra tens of thousands of $$$ to go overseas for the same cert issued by the same school??!?!!

going to the actual contry to do the degree..u explore a totally diff culture and be independent..that is the plus point...u can't learn that in books.Originally posted by Nikar2:by the way, one question regarding distance learning (e.g: RMIT Business course in SG, affiliated to school) vs. actual learning (RMIT business course in Australia, the school itself).....

Well, the best thing is to head down to the office, and get brochures to both business programs offered by the school. I was in RMIT for business admin(they now change the course name) and like you said, it doesn't have honours system, and also similar to your Poly system.Originally posted by online55:actually i prefer UOL to RMIT also ..

RMIT consists of only lectures for 3 hours, while I heard UOL has tutorials. I would consist it to be a disadvantage to study RMIT, since tutorials would mean a smaller class, and u would have more chances to raise doubts than if you would to study just lectures. Because almost everyone would ask the lecturer questions during break and after school, which means u would be less inclined to ask questions. -
Some of my friends went to Australia to study. What they got was satisfaction at 3 years of campus life, experiencing a different lifestyle and culture, and bascially the days of staying with other people, and forming a deep bond that could last forever. Even though it burnt a hole in their pockets, they felt it was worth every single cent.Originally posted by Nikar2:by the way, one question regarding distance learning (e.g: RMIT Business course in SG, affiliated to school) vs. actual learning (RMIT business course in Australia, the school itself).....

That's probably something distance learning can't buy. -
i thought its the other way round??

UniSIM is Singapore's first private university with MOE approval to award its own degrees. In this respect, it ranks equally with all Singapore universities (3 public ones) which come under MOE's control.
As for foreign universities - there are plenty from Australia, Britain and USA. Most of these depends on local educational setups to run their programmes and the degrees are awarded by the foreign universities. They do not come under MOE's control. PSB, MDIS, MIS, SHRI, SMA and many others offer such foreign university programmes. And so does SIM Global which runs RMIT, UOL, OU, etc.
Whether lectures, tutorials, courseworks, etc. - it all depends on the university's approach. For UOL, it is unseen written exams for most papers (unless practical ones!). For RMIT, you have combination of courseworks and exams.
Unlike on-campus full-time study, you can take your time to do the programme, work or do other things!
Some programmes don't even require you to attend courses if you are able to study and learn on your own! Some UOL programmes fit into this scheme which is ideal for people who are disciplined, capable and can learn with minimum help or mostly self-help. This is quite an uphill task! It used to be the case where many went thru UOL External Programme on their own bootstrap and really earned their degrees by their own efforts! These days, so many educational outfits are actually conducting classes for these UOL self-learning programmes.
If you ask me, I rather put my money in UniSIM. It is still young but in time to come, it will gain the recognition that SIM has. America's best and top universities (Ivy League) are private universities. So, don't worry.
Whether you study full-time on-campus or part-time off-campus, the difference is only the 'student' life. There is no difference whether you study Statistics in UniSIM, RMIT, NUS or whatever. The same with Accounting - you will learn debits and credits all the same!!!!
Of course, those who studied full-time on-campus will have more opportunities and time to be involved in campus activities and to socialise with one another.
But do not think for one moment that the degree obtained is any better! At the end of day, it is you - the student that makes the difference. If you are good, any university you go is no problem but of course, if you are that good, you can choose to go to top university - not the second stringers! -

yeah, but in the end, the salary etc. are the same, right?
how big of a difference can it make?
if you ask him, these folks just wanna have fun. -
In the end it is knowledge and your ability to apply the knowledge to help your employer stays above waters. No one owes you a living by virtue that you have a degree!Originally posted by Nikar2:(nanren)

Some of the best performers and earners don't have a degree!
