hey people, i just wanna find out if uniSIM is recognised locally and internationally? anyone from there who can share their experience and views? And is the 2 years in NS counted as work experience for application into the uni?
thanks!
i was thinking UOL and university of manchester which are ranked pretty well in the world. RMIT isn't a good option i think. world ranking 233...that's madness. the rest...not even in the list.
The world ranking thing is a bit of a hit and miss, the methodology used doesn't favor specialized schools (i.e. tech unis).
Unis like Texas A&M are ranked really low, even though the school is actually pretty good in some fields.
ic. thanks for sharing. yeah the ranking stuff is based on ridiculous things like nobel prize winners etc. which are totally not relevant to what we are looking for in a school. but then that's how employers gauge the value of a person's degree. what you think abt the degrees SIM offer? whats the employability of graduates? so far, i understand that it's really hard to get a job even for graduates from local Us. it's a sad situation now.

When i was at a job fair at a local uni, the booth with the most recruitment was the armed forces. Me still unemployed after months...:cry:
If you're planning to do research/post-grad then stuff like number of nobel prize/fields medal winners is important.

unisim is recognized locally, internationally i'm not too sure.
if you want to work in the govt sector, then unisim is the better choice, is same tier as UOL in sg under 2nd tier.
NS is counted as job experience but also pen down your temp jobs just in case.
for business courses, there's an overspill from recent years, so be prepared to be defer for a sem before starting the course.
overspill?
i'm starting my rmit course next year, so what's the big deal about ranking ?
at the end of the day, is still only just a piece of paper anyway.
what matters most is your job performance in the future, cause that's the one which decides whether you climb or you stay stagnant in your company.
ic. that's sad. armed forces? gosh, no way for me. i'm in ns and i think its abt the worse career ever. the money they pay u doesn't quite equate to the hours u spend working. the quality of the degree also matters wad. employers care a lot abt where u come from. if u have 2 guys - 1 from NUS (33th) and 1 from Harvard (1st)...both asking for same starting pay...u wld choose who? no offence, i initially wanted to take RMIT cuz its relatively much easier than UOL but after what i found out regarding RMIT, i decided not to take it up.
i got 8 friends in rmit right now, i won't say is easy or difficult but you need to be constantly involved to get good grades and just recently 2 of my poly friends crash out after failing the same module twice...
too me is not the ranking that matters but how you are going to cope with your studies.
there is a big deal about ranking.
school facilities , all round education, and exposure chances. schools with better ranks usually have better exposure for interns, overseas exchange , competitons, etc etc.
else why would people pay 5-6 digit to go into harvard, mit, stanford etc etc?
if u think its just a piece of paper...u can forget about that degree and just starting working.
