Global Education, Local Access
SIM Global Education (SIM GE) collaborates with Monash College (pathway to Monash University), University of Wollongong (UOW), RMIT University, La Trobe University, and The University of Sydney. These institutions rank among the best globally, bringing world-class curricula and teaching standards to Singapore.
Monash University, ranked 36th globally and #5 in Australia (QS 2026), offers its Monash University Foundation Year through Monash College at SIM, guaranteeing entry to Monash campuses upon meeting requirements. The University of Wollongong, consistently in the Top 200 worldwide, delivers IT, computer science and cybersecurity programmes accredited by the Australian Computer Society.
RMIT University, ranked 125th globally and Top 50 for Art & Design, has partnered with SIM for over three decades, producing more than 54,000 graduates. La Trobe University, recognized for AACSB-accredited business programmes, and The University of Sydney, ranked #1 in Australia for graduate employability, round out SIM’s impressive roster of partners.
Distinctive Australian Pedagogy at SIM
SIM’s Australian programmes reflect the teaching philosophies of their partner universities, emphasizing blended learning, active engagement, and industry integration. Monash College prepares students for university success through online and classroom learning that fosters independent thinking. The University of Wollongong combines theory with hands-on experience, including exposure to enterprise systems and internships. RMIT University uses case studies, business simulations, and projects co-designed with industry partners to develop practical skills. La Trobe University delivers a contemporary curriculum shaped by industry leaders, integrating real-world case studies and experiential activities. The University of Sydney applies research-based learning and collaborative practice in its nursing programmes, delivered in block mode with online support. Together, these approaches ensure graduates are globally competitive and job ready.
Affordable, Flexible, and Globally Recognized
Studying at SIM offers significant cost savings compared to relocating overseas, while degrees awarded are identical to those conferred in Australia. Flexible pathways, credit transfers, and exchange opportunities make these programmes accessible to a diverse student body. For many, SIM represents the best of both worlds: global credentials without the financial burden of international relocation.
Alumni Success Stories
The impact of these partnerships is evident in SIM’s alumni stories. Jeremiah, a SIM-UOW graduate, overcame academic setbacks to become a software engineer at NCS SG, crediting the programme’s flexibility for enabling him to balance work and study. Violet Weng, who completed her RMIT degree while working full-time, transitioned from marketing to finance and now serves as an associate director at a fintech firm. Aqilah Zailan, founder of Studio Gypsied, leveraged RMIT’s hands-on approach to build a thriving creative business. Clarence Seow, a La Trobe alumnus, shifted from restaurant management to sustainable event planning, inspired by the university’s industry-focused curriculum. Yen, a graduate of the University of Sydney nursing programme, pursued her calling to make a difference in healthcare, supported by SIM’s collaborative learning environment.
Vision for the Future
Through our partnerships with renowned universities, a diverse and inclusive learning environment, and industry-relevant programmes, we develop graduates with industry skills, knowledge, and cultural intelligence to be career-ready and excel in a globalised society.
This vision underscores SIM’s role as a catalyst for transformation. By combining world-class curricula with local accessibility, SIM ensures that students gain the confidence and competence to navigate global challenges. The institution’s focus on employability, innovation, and lifelong learning positions its graduates as leaders in a rapidly evolving economy.
Choosing SIM’s Australian programmes is more than an academic decision, it is a strategic investment in a future defined by global opportunities. With world-class partners, distinctive pedagogy, affordability, and strong employability outcomes, SIM provides a gateway to global careers. For students seeking an education that opens doors worldwide, SIM stands as a trusted partner in shaping tomorrow’s leaders.
