SINGAPORE: 92.2 per cent of students who graduated from the three local universities last year found jobs within six months of graduation, according to figures posted on the Education Ministry's website on Monday.
The employment rate of graduates from the Singapore Management University (SMU) is the highest among the three local varsities.
96.8 per cent of its graduates found jobs within six months of graduation.
In comparison, about 91 per cent of graduates from the National University of Singapore (NUS), and about 89 per cent of graduates from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) found jobs within six months of graduation.
In terms of salary, graduates from SMU's Information Systems Management course earned the highest mean monthly salary of about S$3,450.
Graduates from the Business Administration with Honours course at NUS came close with a mean monthly salary of about S$3,400.
At the other end of the scale are graduates from NUS's Applied Science course. Their mean monthly salary is about S$2,400.
That's slightly lower than graduates from NTU's Art, Design and Media course, who have a mean monthly salary of about S$2,430.- CNA/vm

If they tell me $2,800, I probably believe. $3,400 over-fetched.

Of course no lor. Only full-time jobs considered.
Probably full-time employment only. Those under full-time contract should have also been eliminated from the survey bah. -
Inflated incomes, using basic + allowance + OT.
Applied science grads take 2.4? Might as well do engineering, can take higher.

temps can be full time too. no?Trust me, full time contracts(1 year) are dished out like plastic bags in supermarkets last year.
If they are excluded from the statistics, I'm sure the employment rate will be way lesser then stated.
-
part time, contract and pr are they exclude
pls show full time one

I think 89% and 91% for NTU and NUS respectively sounds reasonable. But the problem with surveys in uniquely Singapore is that many factors such as sample size are not disclosed. These employment surveys by the universities are often long winded and probably do not warrant the interest of many to post it back.
If me? Haha, i will just tear the damn survey up unless they pay me $$ to do it.

agree that full-time contracts are common.some also use their diplomas to find jobs....better than idling at home and pressure to return study loan mounts.
