I have been sourcing for a worthy university that provides an internationally recognised Business Management degree. After conducting research on many Universities’ rankings and accreditation status, I settled for Northumbria University and I knew that I made the right choice.

Firstly, it provided up-to-date academic information; this has helped me to apply critical systems-thinking approaches to real-world business management problems. Secondly, the knowledge and thought processes that I have acquired, allowed me to see the bigger picture and look beyond conventional boundaries. Most importantly, I feel the skills that I have acquired will put me in a position to make an impact in any job that I choose to pursue in future.

I have been looking for a business management degree from a good university and I came across Northumbria University. I took up the programme because of the University’s ranking and accreditation status. I really like the assignment-based approach as I can integrate my professional work experience with business management principles I learnt in my class to produce good quality assignments.

Attracted by my company’s offer to sponsor my further studies, I enrolled into the Diploma in Business Studies programme with Kaplan. Being able to complete the course in a shorter duration of 8 months compared to other institutes, affirmed Kaplan as the school of my choice. Looking back on my Kaplan journey, it has imparted me with essential industry knowledge and helped me grow my confidence as a person. For example, lessons in Statistics developed my critical thinking and analytical skills required to spot sales trends, and determine sales projection at work. In recognition of my efforts, I was promoted from a Sales Administrator to a Business Planning Officer.

My positive Diploma study experience also gave me the confidence to take a step further and pursue my Bachelor’s in Business Studies Degree with University College Dublin. Strongly recommended by my friends and assured by the prestige of Kaplan’s university partners, these factors sealed my decision to join the UCD programme. Upon graduation, I am sure this internationally recognised certification will give me an advantage in the workforce.

I was working as a flight steward when I first took up the Kaplan Diploma programme. Kaplan was my first choice as it gave me schedule flexibility without compromising on the quality of each lesson. The Diploma was crucial in fostering my critical thinking skills, which has helped to widen my career prospects. In particular, I was headhunted to join one of Singapore’s major banks as a Relationship Manager.

The Kaplan Diploma programme has allowed me to progress towards a Business Degree in International Business with the acclaimed Royal Holloway, University of London, where I graduated with First Class Honours from.

As a working adult, having a full-time career and pursuing further studies is not easy. Since Kaplan is a global brand name in education, I came here for a distinctive Bachelor’s Degree programme that matched my working schedule, so that it would not interrupt my career.

Quality matters a lot to me, so University College Dublin (UCD) instantly caught my attention as it is an elite business school ranked Top 1% of institutions globally with triple-crown accreditations by AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. Naturally, I chose the programme specialising in Logistics and Supply Chain Management as it is relevant to my line of work and I could earn a premium credential in 18 months.

I experienced world-class education as many qualified lecturers fly in from Ireland to teach alongside local lecturers who have years of real industry experience. They imparted deep business insights and global knowledge which helped guide my studies, built my foundation knowledge and developed my confidence for the future.

I chose the Degree in Marketing, Advertising & Public Relations with BCU because of its triple major offering. The combination is unique, practical and can be completed within 18 months. Most importantly, the Kaplan campus is located in central Singapore, which makes it convenient for me to travel between work, school and home.

The main reason for me to have signed up for this programme is the unique curriculum and subjects. As a Course Coordinator at my workplace, I find some subjects such as Digital Marketing to be really useful in my career. I was glad that the programme structure suited working professionals. Moreover, students are assessed based on either projects or examinations and these make the programme more manageable for working adults like me.

I pursued this BCU programme as the curriculum intrigued me. The central location of the Kaplan Campus was also very convenient and the flexible lecture schedules allowed me to shuffle between school, work and home. Some lecturers shared their insights and personal experiences, and this translated to practical skills which I could apply to my managerial career.

I was one of the more mature students in our class. Despite our tough schedule of work, exams and projects, we worked together, forged friendships and built networking opportunities. Real knowledge is something that nobody can take away from you. If you decide to pursue further education, persevere no matter how difficult things are. Just bite the bullet and do it.

I was referred by my friends to consider UCD for my choice of studies. I eventually chose the Bachelor of Business Studies (Honours) in Management (Top-up) programme as it suits the current needs for my job. The lecturers were helpful and approachable, and they made our lessons really fun! I also like Kaplan’s campus environment for its first-class facilities and the library has a good collection of references useful for my studies.
I was especially thrilled that my employer recognised the value of my UCD credentials. I was promoted from the position of Assistant Manager to Operations and Maintenance Manager.

I originally completed my Diploma programme at Kaplan, then I chose to enrol for the Business Degree programme with BCU as it is an Honours programme with a 12-month duration. This helped me to find the time to study without interrupting my career.

I love the idea of studying at Kaplan because I got to enjoy the benefits of studying in a central location, received the support of the friendly programme management team and had a well-paced class schedule with no weekend lessons.

Earning this Degree has given me the full confidence and opportunity for better career prospects at my current workplace. By completing my studies, I learnt that it is important to stay true to my goals, stay on track and not give up.

In MNCs, there’s an expectation for business leaders to hold a Master’s Degree or its equivalent. After considering several options, I picked Murdoch University’s Executive Master in Leadership, Strategy & Innovation (E-learning) at Kaplan in Singapore.

It was the best choice because it offered content that is highly relevant to my career, a flexible schedule, and the resources for me to study whenever time permits from anywhere in the world.
