UniSIM to launch degree in human resource

05 Dec 2014

Straits Times, 5 Dec 2014 - SIM University (UniSIM) will become the first of Singapore's six universities to launch a human resource (HR) management degree next year, to plug a gap in the training of HR personnel. Its provost Tsui Kai Chong said the programmes at the other local universities are general business degrees with a specialisation in HR. Students typically take between five and eight courses in HR. In comparison, UniSim's course is a full-fledged one, offering 15 modules in HR. SP Business School graduate Philip Tan told Straits Times that he is keen to take up the new course as he sees value in doing a specialized degree over a general business degree.
