Education In Singapore And Job Opportunities.

Posted by Anonymous on 2/24/2009 at 8:27 AM ET 125 Points
Hello all,

I am MBA student and have 2.5 years of experience in ad agency here in India. I want to go abroad to study and have a degree in Advertising and Marketing Communication so as to get better opportunities.

I had an option to go USA but the expenditure there will be huge which I can not afford. However I thought why not Singapore where I can get a Diploma in Advertising / Mass Communication.

I would like to know about the reputation of MDIS (Management Development Institute of Singapore) www.mdis.edu.sg and the job opportunities in Singapore as compared to India. As far as professional degree in advertising and mass communication is concerned which place would be better between India and Singapore?

Any suggestions regarding Education in Singapore and Job opportunities will be valuable for me. Also I would be happy if you can advice any good institute or college.

Thank you.

    Dear Sir,

    I am both impressed and delighted to read your note and to see that you are considering MDIS as an option to pursue your academic aspirations.

    Whilst India's economy has developed quickly over the last decade and has begun to provide a number of such opportunities, Singapore remains a consistently tapped source for Indian firms seeking academic and experiential expertise - particularly in the areas of Advertising, Public Relations and Mass Communications.

    Indeed, as part of its “Media 21” blueprint, the Singapore government intends for Singapore to become a global media hub!

    MDIS has been at the forefront of this national movement by facilitating students from all over the world to come to the cosmopolitan and secure environment of Singapore to study, gain experience and acquire solid academic credentials with established and prestigious globally recognized universities and institutions.

    Our Mass Communication programme was started in 1992 in collaboration with the American Oklahoma City University. In 2007, this 16 year old programme was voted the Best Mass Communication programme in Singapore in the 2007/08 Singapore Programme Citations (PEO category) by Edupoll. Our Certificate, Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Degree and Masters programmes are well received by the industry; and our graduates have gone on to play important roles in such organizations as Mediacorp - thereby contributing proactively to the growth of the creative industries in the region.

    I would be honoured to speak with you directly (via email or telephone) to see how we can facilitate your academic aspirations. So, please do contact me directly at [Phone number and email address deleted by staff - this information belongs in the Member Profile], so that I can answer any further queries you might have. I look forward to welcoming you to Singapore and to the next step toward lifelong success through education.
