If e critera to get to SIM is easier,logically u think employers wld value which 1 more,local or SIM>?Originally posted by KenPlus:As a current student in UOL,personally i find that my course is not bad.Regarding sch fees,alot of people claim that SIM sch fees is much expensive but from what i am doing soo far,the fees are cheaper than local Uni as i got an exemption for a yr.
The lecturers i am having are quite good most of them i know are teaching in local Uni too but be prepare that the exams here are pretty tougher compare to local uni.Don't think that you are just "buying" a degree here.The main reason was because the papers was set by oversea examiner in UK ,not by our local lecturers,hence even SIM and our lecturers has no ideas what is going to be tested.Unlike local Uni where the papers are set by their own lecturers,hence it easier to obtain "tips"
Since you are interested in banking and finance might as well take a course in banking better.
I do not know how the employers rated between local uni and oversea uni since i am only using my poly dip for my resume but i guess most people tend to have the mentality that local Uni such as NUS,NTU and SMU are better off than SIM. -

actually it depends on how you fare.... they are now looking at uni grades rather than A level grades, so who cares whether its easier to get in SIM than a local uni. Being able to enter SIM, doesn't guarantee you a piece of qualification ( i have known of people who got stucked in SIM for nearly 5 years, failing again and again), you still gotta use you brains and put in some hard work. Furthermore, SIM's exam papers are set and marked by examiners from foreign unversities, at the same standard which they assess their own students. It's not easy to get a good honours too, so if you can get a 2nd upper or a 1st class honours for your SIM/UOL exams or maybe good grades in your transcripts, it sure beats a local uni student without honours or average Bs & Cs in their transcript.
However, of course, considering 2 same class of honours from SIM/UOL and a local uni,of course,the local uni's piece of paper will beat SIM's hands down, as simple as that.
Nowadays sad to say.. its a NHNT (no honours no talk) world.... many (but not all) companies are looking for honours grads... preferbly 2nd upper and above.. so.. for those who spend 3 years and graduate without honours.. its still alittle lugi. -
Actually so what if the degree says degree in management. It does not mean you will not get the job. It really depends on how much experience and how you write your resume in future. Resume - first step in getting an interview.
E.g. My colleague has a degree in Computer Science but he working in the Finance/Costing side. Alike to me, my degree is in International Business, but working under the Finance/Costing side. FYI: Finance/Cost jobs normally state that the person MUST have an Accounting or Finance Degree. -
my view is: it would be easier to clinch a job if u hv a dip/adv dip in certain aspect and complemented by a BSc Mgmt. The former leads you into the job, and the latter pave way for you up the corporate ladder.
