Best private uni for Management course

[Kllyw29]

Hi, I'm needing help deciding on which private uni to go to! Currently i have narrowed down to PSB University of Newcastle, SIM RMIT, SIM UOM, Kaplan Royal Holloway and Curtin. Only SIM UOM and Kaplan RO include honors.

Would a degree with honors be better? But which uni would more recognized in sg? Would love to hear some opinions and thoughts thanks!

You already slightly disadvantage yourself by going for a distance learning degree in private education institutes, you do not want to even further disadvantage yourself by choosing only a basic degree. So choose the best option, that will put you in a better job seeking position than all the other private institute graduates.

Take note of the following points when choosing a course and private institute,

More importantly why isn't UOL on the shortlist

For exactly the reason stated! took a gap year and went to work in a MNC, don't want to put off studying much longer..

Hmm I can't comment on which is best but I'm posting to say don't rule out UOL just because the next intake is in July. I can understand why you don't want to wait until then but it's like 6 months further away compared to the rest? It's not really that long if you put it into perspective. Since you're going to be spending time/effort/money into your degree and your future kinda depends on it in some way, it might be worth it to wait if it really seems like the best option for you.

Actually the 6 months may be a golden time for you to do something productive, like a temp job that can be converted to full time after the probation period. What I am suggesting is at the end of 6 months, you will have a choice between working full-time and pursing further education

What is your definition of "best"?

 

[Kllyw29]

What is your definition of "best"?

In terms of recognition and education like the teaching staff etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have alrdy taken 1.5 years and worked in 2 companies. I'm all ready to head back to school

I'd vote for UOM because the uni itself is higher ranking... however based on what I see and know, it looks like DL degrees are pretty much the same no matter where you graduate from

Among all the private schools, the ones that I've seen perform better are those from uol. That being said, it may also be due to how most ppl end up going to uol. It might be better if you end up interviewing for jobs in future, and ur interviewer came from uol as well

Oh I thought you just left NS

Perhaps UOL, since the teaching staffs from the different private educational institutions are almost of no difference in terms of teaching quality, I felt. The syllabuses look okay, and there is the flexibility of self-education that would help lower your expenses on the programme by avoiding the tuition fees charged by private educational institutions.

If confined within your options, then RHUL and Manchester.

Just my opinions. Take it with a pinch of salt.
