Nkps 1st Gear October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 I'm thinking about taking up a Diploma in InfoComm Technology but divided between the 2 institutions. Anyone has taken up a course or currently studying there please offer your advise. Kam siah ... Thank you... MDIS has offer to students of Millennia Insitute in part-time Diploma Courses and should be reconised by the Gov. If not the school would not allow them to come in and conduct such diploma courses. My daughter currently studying at MI but she choose Newcastle Uni part-time course instead in Hotel Management....... next time she work in hotel we OT gang got special discount bo?

Wish1719 1st Gear October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 good to hear you going for upgrading.... all the best! do it while you are still young... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish1719 1st Gear October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 I was reading through the MDIS webby and conclude that they are like what you said commercialised and they have quite a large number of foreign students as compared to PSB... The course duration for both institution also differs... MDIS is 1 year and PSB is 18 months... Curriculum wise both are about the same... 1 yr or 18 months, onle diff 6 months, maybe the same but teaching and hours are different, doesn;t matter actually...18 months may be a little longer, but you may get a clearer picture than the 1 yr course. if you can follow up fast and hard work, then go for the shorter duration one. Good Luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukie102 Clutched October 5, 2008 Share October 5, 2008 [reply] I am indeed keen if u can provide me with the names of your friends and also the ministry that they belong too. Case in point is my wife. She is with MOE. Nope, they do not recognize the Bradford degree. It has been a good 6 years of slogging with Diploma payscale. Hope u can furnish me with the data. I will be taking this up with the relevant authorities again. [reply] See this: http://www.psd.gov.sg/AboutUs/Faqs/#04 [/size] [/url]4. How can I find out if my degree is recognised by the Singapore Civil Service? The Civil Service recruits people based on the principles of meritocracy, impartiality and incorruptibility. We do this through open competition, regardless of race, religion, age, and gender. With these principles, each Ministry decides on its criteria for recruitment based on the organisation's needs. The hiring department looks at more than the academic qualifications. Other important considerations include relevant experience, past track record and personal qualities such as leadership. The candidate with the best overall fit to the requirements of the job and the culture of the organisation will be appointed. Generally, a degree is recognised if the institution or university is accredited by the government of the country where it is located. This applies to degrees obtained via full-time or part-time studies as well as distance learning or twinning programmes. For professional qualifications such as law, accountancy and engineering, the foreign degrees must also be recognised by the relevant professional bodies in Singapore. Students should check a university's accreditation status if they wish to join the Civil Service upon graduation. They can check the status in guidebooks such as the Commonwealth Universities Yearbook. The universities and professional bodies will also be able to advise on the status. A list of guidebooks, education centres and professional bodies is available at http://www.vog.gov.sg/data/StaticContent/WhatYouShouldKnow-accreditation.htm " I cannot remember if Bradford is the list of Commonwealth Universities. You need to check it out. Another thing is, recognition is one thing and acceptance is another. 1 ministry may accept a candidate with external learning degree but another may not. It also depends on the post applied. As for recognition of the degree within one's own organisation, the following is based on my own knowledge: a. If the GPA meets the ministry's requirement (means if the results are good). b. If the person is performing up to the required standard (potential and performance grading) c. Interview? (for conversion to another scheme) There may be other requirement(s). Your wife can try to find out the reason why she was rejected but it depends if the ministry is allowed/wants to tell the reason. BTW, my UOL external degree which was done with SIM is recognised and accepted by my previous ministry. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
