INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE
“ The University of London International Programmes is the world’s oldest provider of
degrees through flexible learning. Our internationally renowned awards have been
accessible to students across the world since 1858. Today, we are proud to have more
than 50,000 students in over 180 countries.
Teaching institutions have played a central role in the success of the University of
London International Programmes. Not only have they helped us realise our vision of
providing a life-changing, high quality university education to those who could benefit,
but they have also enhanced the learning experience of countless students.
In recognition of this important role, in 2009 we introduced the Teaching Institutions
Recognition Framework to formalise our relationships with teaching institutions. This
framework aims to create closer links with selected high quality teaching institutions
around the world, by recognising those that meet a set of specific quality criteria in
respect to the support they provide to International Programmes students.
SAA Global Education (formerly Singapore Accountancy Academy), the education arm of
the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) - Singapore's National Accountancy
Body - is an Affiliate Centre for the University of London International Programmes. This
means that in the considered view of the University of London it demonstrates commit-
ment to developing high standards in respect of teaching, support to students and
administrative processes.
We are delighted that SAA-GE is a member of
our network of Recognised Centres and we
hope that being part of this network will
contribute to its ongoing development and
result in an even closer relationship with the
University of London International Programmes.
Ultimately, this will help to ensure that
International Programmes students at SAA-GE
have a high quality and rewarding learning
“
experience.
