“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. Participating in CCAs
actually built my character, taught me skills like networking
and leadership, and even landed me my current job.” (2014)

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.

Minimum class size
For a class to commence, there must be a minimum number of 25 students (for the BSc degree and Graduate Diploma
programmes) and a minimum of 10 students for each option (for Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences). In
the event that the minimum number is not met after the application period, the class will not commence. Students will be
informed within 30 days after the application period.
Attendance Requirement
Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences students must maintain a minimum attendance of 90%, failing which the
student will not be permitted to register/sit for the university examinations. For the BSc degree and Graduate Diploma
programmes, students are encouraged to fulfil a minimum attendance of 75%. Regardless of programme, all international
students would need to fulfil a 90% attendance requirement to maintain their student’s pass.
Candidature Period
The maximum allowed period for a student to complete the course as stipulated by the University of London is as reflected:
Programme Maximum candidature* Minimum candidature
Standard Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree (12 units) 8 years 3 years
Standard/Graduate Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree (9 units) 8 years 2 years
Graduate Diplomas 5 years 1 year
Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences 5 years 1 year
Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences + Standard Bachelor 8 years 3 years
of Science (Honours) degree
*The candidature period can be extended by the University on a case by case basis.
There will not be any refund or recourse should the student fail to complete within the maximum allowed period. Students
pursuing the Bachelor’s degree on a part-time basis are recommended to spread 12 units over four years by taking three
units a year.
At SIM, international students who are academically weak and find it difficult to progress or complete the programme
within the minimum duration will be counselled. 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.

9Certificate of Higher Education
in Social Sciences (NEW)
What does this programme entail?
The Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences will be launched for the 2016-17 academic year, and is to replace the
Diploma in Economics, which was offered from 1988 to 2015.
The Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences is a qualification in its own right. For students who do not meet
the degree entrance requirements, it also provides an entry route to the Economics, Management, Finance and Social
Sciences degrees offered through the International Programmes, with academic direction from LSE. By successfully
completing the programme you will develop analytical competence allowing you to undertake further undergraduate
study. The Certificate of Higher Education is a taught programme and students are required to attend a course of
instruction at SIM.
Who is this programme for?
This programme is ideal for those who wish to pursue a University of London degree programme at SIM. It is also a good
alternative for those who may not have met the University of London entrance requirement for the BSc degree, but wish
to have a chance at getting a degree without losing additional time. At the end of 3 years, graduates can obtain both a
Certificate of Higher Education and a BSc degree from University of London.
Progression
Graduates who do well are awarded a Certificate with Distinction, Merit or Credit. Upon successful completion of the
Certificate, candidates can progress to the BSc degrees with credit for up to four full units. A transfer to the BSc degree is
possible for those who pass at least three full units.
Course Units
The programme consists of four Level 100 units (or the equivalent). Students will select these units from Selection groups
F(i). (See page 25). Classes will be combined with undergraduate students pursuing a BSc degree. Additional tutorials are
organised for Certificate of Higher Education students*. Students who wish to progress to the BSc degrees should choose
the units with care. Consider the units that are available on the degree that interest you and choose units that are common
to both that degree and this programme.
Notes:
* Tutorials will be organised only if there are a minimum of ten students in the tutorial class. This is with regards to the more specialised courses
like IR1011.
Please refer to page 30 for details on entry requirements.
The SIM Economics Society provides a platform for students to make presentations
about economic themes that they are personally interested in, such as taxation,
quantitative easing, price indices, insurance, oil prices and even Bitcoin. Through
these activities, students not only develop their analytical skills but also public
speaking, writing, and debating skills. They get to apply what they have learned
in their classroom to current events. (2015)
