Master of Business Administration
Studying in SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ has been a great experience for me. As English is not my first language, I’ve always felt challenged communicating in English. However, all the lecturers are very helpful and have been patient with me throughout my time here. They are always ready and willing to guide their students. They encourage us to do more and that is what keeps me going till now.
Aside from the formal curriculum, I am glad that I joined the SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Business Club. It was there that I got the opportunity to better interact and get to know people from diverse backgrounds – some of whom, I call my best friends now."

This program offers a comprehensive curriculum to prepare students to take on a career in the field of finance. The lecturers are all industry experts who have valuable industry insights and experience to share with the students.
SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ provides a great opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge beyond their field of study within an international and multicultural environment. I was exposed to people from a wide spectrum of educational and cultural backgrounds, which will stand me in good stead for my career.”

“Studying at SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ has been a truly unforgettable experience. SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ made it possible for learning to be enjoyable. I enjoyed every step of my course, just as much as it had challenged me, and, pushed me to think outside the box.
My teachers provided constant support and encouragement, and motivated me to hit my full potential. The theoretical knowledge that I gained during my time with SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ has helped me in the working world.
In my line of work, I recruit finance executives for major firms, and I am sure with the knowledge gained, it will help me to garner even more executives for major firms.”

Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Accounting and Financial Management (Top-Up)
“The main reason I chose a Business course was to gain a more in-depth understanding of how the market works – from the inner workings of how a customer behaves, to how economies operate overall.
The taught programme was diverse and covered a multitude of areas in detail. The skills and knowledge taught were also applicable to the rigour and requirements of the current job market.
The core reason I chose SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ in collaboration with Bangor University was because of the recognised accreditation of Bangor University not only locally, but also globally. The 2-year accelerated programme provided an added bonus of finishing a year before our peers in other universities, giving us ample time to find jobs and gain experience in this saturated market.
Other than the highly relevant course materials, the business school held numerous workshops and supplementary programmes to develop our competencies, providing us with an added edge in this competitive market. After I graduated, I have successfully secured a full-time role as a Marketing Executive with Spaceman Innovations in Singapore.”

Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Business Studies and Finance
"I chose to study BSc (Hons) in Business Studies and Finance as it had the perfect balance between practical and theoretical modules. Throughout my course of study, I was exposed to new skills and concepts and there were ample opportunities for me to sharpen said skills.
Most of our assignments and projects were based on up-to-date, real-life scenarios and we learnt more about global monetary authorities, successful global companies’ theories, models and practices. Through the SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Business Club as well, we had many opportunities to visit MNCs and government bodies such as Google, MAS, PUB and more.
Having graduated, I fulfilled my dream of working in a corporate bank. I am currently with DBS Bank as a Senior Customer Service Officer. I am looking forward to continuing my Master's Degree in a few years’ time, after I have gained some experience in the corporate world."

"SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Singapore is a great place to study as an international student. Its infrastructure, multicultural alumni members, partnership with excellent universities worldwide, and its evolutionary programmes spurred me on. We feel ready to join the fast-changing business industry, in the midst of the rising globalisation.
Moreover, Singapore is known to be one of the most advanced countries in Business and Finance – a field of study that has always been my passion. Lastly, Singapore is a safe and welcoming place to live in, far from my home country and family. After my studies, I hope to find a job in Singapore or in the UK, where I can apply my years of study and develop more skills for my future career.”

"One year of MBA in SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ has truly transformed my life. I had the chance to learn from the most inspiring lecturers, to be a part of a very close-knit group of friends, to create many great memories with them, and moreover, to discover abilities and ambitions that I never thought I had. Of course there are still many goals that I have not achieved; many things I regret that I did or did not do, but choosing this course would never be one of those things I regretted."

"At age 30, after working for 7 years as a Quality/Regulatory Analyst, I decided to further my education by pursuing an MBA in Banking & Finance from SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½, in collaboration with Bangor University. At SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½, I got a chance to learn from some extremely knowledgeable lecturers who are highly experienced in their respective fields. I truly believe that hard work and a positive attitude make dreams come true as they did for me, when I bagged the Gold Award for being the Top Student of the Year.
As an international student, SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ proved to be the right choice for me as it provided the platform for me to learn and understand the international financial markets. It gives me immense pleasure to announce that I am currently working as a Financial Services Consultant at AIA Singapore, which was a result of the knowledge and exposure I gained from studying at SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½.
