Degree for Marketing

[Noelleong]

Hello! I need some advise on the school to choose from, would be great if anyone can help to provide any insights!

I’ve shortlisted 2 schools - SIM and Kaplan

For Kaplan, it would be Birmingham for 1 year of studies and the degree would be: Bachelor of Arts (Honours) International Marketing

While for SIM, it would be RMIT Bachelor of Business (Marketing) for 2 years of studies.

I’ll be attending the part time courses as I’ve decided that working and studying at the same time would be more beneficial for me next time. Hence local uni (3/4 years) is a no no to me. Years of studies to complete a degree is too long. (Personal preference)

How would the HR look at these 2 certs? Would they treat them the same since both are private uni?

Also, I don’t think the word “SIM” or “Kaplan” would be printed on the certificate. Although I do know that SIM is still more reputable than Kaplan. But does it really matters?

Did anyone took up Kaplan or SIM courses? How was it for part time studies?

I might look into master next time but it’s not confirm yet too! (Depends if I’ve the money and energy for it anot hahaha!)

Sound like local ivy guarantee admission.

Birmingham city is different from Birmingham leh
Since u talking part time, HR value relevant experience over degree imho

RMIT is a public uni lah.

Another one who doesn't know the difference between distance learning vs on campus learning and public vs private unis.
