SIM or SUSS

[reiser]

Which institute will you opt for if you are in your 20s and given a choice between these two:

SUSS or SIM?

I am gathering opinion on a degree programme offered by the 2 institutes. SUSS seems to be more recognised than SIM, especially for the course considered.

The main advantage of studying at SIM would be module exemption. Due to the related diploma studied, only need to study for 8 modules within 8 months to get a degree.

However, it does not have any honours grading and does not seem to be as recognised as the SUSS one as SUSS is recognised as a local uni and fees are subsidised.

For your reference, this is the degree programme:
https://www.sim.edu.sg/degrees-dipl...r-of-communication-professional-communication

Course fee is $17k

For SUSS, it’s a part time course over 3 years. Seems to be more recognised in the government sector if it’s used to apply for jobs in stat board and govt organisations.

https://www.suss.edu.sg/programmes/detail/bachelor-of-communication

Course fee after subsidy is $15k

My advice is to go for the SIM one as it’s a steal to get a degree in 8 months, with fewer modules to study. After some years of not studying, it’s also a good opportunity to find out if you are still able to study.

Would appreciate your expert opinion.

Why don consider ntu or nus after all they r still the top 10 uni in the world. My hubby always tells my son to only go for either one of the above. Do not consider others.

 

[CtrlAltChilli]

I would recommend going for NUS

if have, just enroll whichever course with shorter duration of study with your local diploma cert.

BTW, Uptron cert still kill it

Pinch of salt, but i heard SUSS considered local uni. can join public sector.

SIM not really considered local uni, may get rejected.

SUSS is local uni

Correct. However, it’s a 3-year part time programme. Have asked around. Current students say that although it’s a part time course, it’s not possible to have a full time job as you often have to take leave for exam and other requirements.

UOL is different I think. Last time was considered private but now quite recognised already. A friend studied SIM-UOL and was hired by Citibank.

On the contrary, I think there are some decently qualified people who give logical and sound advice on quite a few things.

I also recommend these two but these two wouldn’t consider the applicant.
