How admission to Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) works, step by step:
- Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — business, management and communications — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
- Language certificate. Entirely in English - the official language of education and business in Singapore.
- Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
- Student visa and relocation. After the offer, a student visa or residence permit for Singapore is arranged. We handle this stage end to end.
