YMCA TERTIARY

YMCA of Singapore has been offering educational courses since 1913. Besides providing education for local and international students towards Secondary Education in Singapore and self improvement, it also offers intensive preparatory courses and enrichment programs.

In 2009, YMCA of Singapore expanded its education business by offering quality tertiary programmes in partnership with the Australian Maritime College (AMC) based in Tasmania, Australia and the University of Strathclyde, through its School of Business (SBS), based in Glasgow, Scotland, to deliver bachelor and master degree programmes on a part-time basis to qualifying students in Singapore.

2009 was an important milestone for the Strathclyde MBA programme as it marked the 20th anniversary of the programme in Singapore. Since 1989 more than 400 students have graduated from this programme, all of whom are now part of the Strathclyde MBA Alumni. The Strathclyde Business School has the following distinguishing features that set it apart from other such schools:

• SBS is ranked 20th in the World (European Business School Ranking 2010), 74th in the World (Financial Times MBA Ranking 2011) and 25th in UK (Guardian University Guide 2011).
• Strathclyde Business School is revealed as No. 1 for research in Scotland & Top 10 in UK (Research Assessment Exercise 2008)
• Less than 1% of business schools in the world hold “triple accreditation” – Strathclyde is one of them. One of only 52 in the World to hold all 3 of the aforementioned hallmarks of excellence.

AMC has a similar pedigree. A specialised institute of the University of Tasmania, AMC is a world-renowned maritime institute that prides itself on its industry relevant education and strong industry links. AMC ranks amongst the top maritime higher education institutions in the world. It stands out by offering a student-centered, friendly environment with small class sizes where academics work closely with students to develop their skills, knowledge and competencies. The maritime industry and employers rely on the AMC to supply skilled and job-ready graduates through quality teaching, and industry relevant courses.
