“I was involved in many SIM events such as Open House where I helped in advising prospective students and their parents on SIM-University of London courses. I enjoyed myself a lot in these events, making new friends and learning new things in the process.

PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES AT SIM Degree Accreditation The University of London was the third English educational institution to be conferred a recognised university status by the Royal Charter back in 1836. Since then, it has consistently passed the stringent and regular inspection by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education with flying colours. It is also a member of the Association of the Commonwealth Universities. The University of London degrees have been rated one of the most prestigious around the world by students, academia and employers alike. All University of London degrees are fully recognised and accredited qualifications. Graduates from the UOLIP Bachelor of Science (BSc) programme at SIM have gone on to complete master’s degrees at many UK Russell Group Universities like Oxford, Cambridge, Warwick, Nottingham, the LSE, University College London (UCL), Durham, Leeds, Birmingham, Southampton, Glasgow, Manchester and the London Business School. Graduates have also pursued postgraduate degrees at NUS, NTU, SIM, SMU and the Chicago Graduate School of Business in Singapore, etc. Mode of Study At SIM, you will be engaged in a variety of teaching environments. Classes are delivered in a carefully designed mixture of lectures and workshops, enabling you to experience a diversity of styles for optimal learning. Aside from study skills sessions that are organised regularly, an Academic Advice session is also conducted on Fridays as part of our teaching and learning support for our students. Students are expected to own a notebook to access online materials especially on the UOL Virtual Learning Environment. Full-time classes are held in three-hour blocks between Monday and Saturday, starting at 8.30am, 12pm or 3.30pm. There are occasional classes on weeknights at 7pm and on Sundays and public holidays. Classes for part-time programmes are held from 7 to 10pm on weeknights or on Saturdays, with occasional classes on Sundays and public holidays. Local students may transfer between the part-time and full-time programme after a year, at the annual course enrolment exercise for continuing students. Before students sit for their exams in May, they go for a series of intensive revision workshops from mid-March to late-April. These sessions are taught by both UK and local lecturers, usually in the evening, on weekends and during public holidays. Students have praised the sessions for being useful in helping them prepare for the exams. SIM also organises preliminary examinations that are set and marked by UK academics. Results from these exams, although not official, are a good gauge of students’ readiness for the actual exams in May. Both the revision and prelim exams are offered free to students. While not all subjects have revision, students can expect the bulk of the modules would be organised. In 2015, for instance, 54 out of 62 modules had revision workshops.

SIM reserves the right to recommend and withdraw a student who cannot cope with the demands of the programme, especially when the student’s pass has expired. The University’s expectations of students The University of London degrees and diplomas are academic courses of high quality, and students may find them challenging at times. The university has recommended at least 35 hours of study and lectures each week from September to May for students doing four full units in one year. On average, a student needs to spend at least 7 to 8 hours studying for each full unit per week. The following study skills, as adapted from Strategies for Success, Academic and Study Skills Advice; is recommended by the university for students. 1. Reading, thinking and reflecting on the material in the subject guides and readings. 2. Discussion of materials and ideas in class or the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and debating the ideas and information you have been studying with others. 3. Defend your position and be willing to adapt your views in light of the discussions. This will help with essay writing and help you learn and remember what you have learnt. 4. Viewing and listening and try to apply what you have learnt in your studies to the information you receive during lectures, or in the VLE video tutorials or academic interviews. 5. Writing. In addition to note taking, you should try to work through some problems or written work each week. Start with short answers and build on this skill. Assessment and Classification SIM assignments, class tests and preliminary examinations allow students sufficient practice for the University’s annual examinations. These annual examinations account for 100% of the assessment for most papers. The exception is for selected Information Systems units such as IS1060, IS3139, IS3159 where coursework is assessed by the University. The Bachelor of Science programme is an honours programme and students are classified according to their performance in examinations — First Class, Upper Second, Lower Second or Third Class honours. A Pass classification may be awarded at the University’s discretion. For the Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences, students who do well may graduate with Distinction, Merit or Credit. Those in the Graduate Diploma programmes may be awarded with Distinction or Merit. 8

They get to apply what they have learned in their classroom to current events. (2015) Shradha Agrawal Student Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Banking and Finance University of London, UK 10
