"
SIM’s Global Education—which offers global higher education programmes to learners— recently attained the EduTrust Star certification, on 20 August 2022. The EduTrust Star certification is accorded to private education institutions (PEI) in Singapore for attaining a commendable level of performance in managing their institutions and providing an outstanding quality of education and welfare for their students. It is also a symbolic recognition of outstanding achievement in their field of work. The EduTrust Star certification award is the highest tier of award under the EduTrust Certification Scheme, a quality assurance scheme administered by the Committee for Private Education, part of SkillsFuture Singapore, for PEIs in Singapore.

"The Diploma in Management Studies program aims to prepare innovative industry and entrepreneurial leaders through real-world experience and business theory in line with current global trends. " Students will be directly involved in facing the real issues that frequently arise in the business world, in addition to learning the essential fundamentals of management theory, " said Ms Yani Oktaviana, USG Education Head of Pondok Indah Campus.


Essentially, Business Management theory can enter various industrial fields and is easily applied to all lines of work, so future career opportunities are not limited to one field, but can spread across multiple sectors. This Business Management major ' s job prospects are including positions such as Business Analyst, Business Development, Marketing & Sales Executive, and others at the managerial level. This major has great potential for students who want to start a career as an entrepreneur, in line with the development of industrial needs.

This is a starting point for UIC College - SIM GE in advancing global education that focuses on industry and individual student skills, as well as future professional development, and is expected to lay the foundation for the future generation to welcome the era of society 5.0. “SIM GE' s teaching methods are oriented toward practical learning and holistic learning, allowing students to learn in a diverse cultural environment and become members of a global community.
Working with industry experts and exclusive networks allows us to prepare our students to compete in the rapidly changing industrial revolution and work in any sector, " also said Mohamad Johan Azman, SIM Country Manager in Indonesia.
After completing the 15 months program in Jakarta, students have several options as graduates of world universities when they continue their studies in Singapore, including Australia (RMIT University, University of Wollongong, La Trobe University); the UK (The University of Birmingham, University of London, University of Stirling); and the USA (University at Buffalo, the State University of New York).
