The SIC programmes
are structured to accommodate the varying needs of students. There
are two types of programmes that students may choose from:
1. Full-time programmes
2. Part-time programmes
All SIC’s programmes have been designed
not only for the purpose of directing the students towards “examination
success” but also with the aim of exposing students to current
and relevant business practices that are essential “tools”
for tomorrow’s successful managers.
As part of the support services provided to the
students, the part-time classes are video-recorded and made available
to the working student who may inevitably miss classes. The tapes
may also be loaned to students who wish to revise or clarify new
and unfamiliar topics covered during the lessons. Students may
view the tapes at the library or borrow them for viewing at their
convenience at home.
An academic year typically consists of 4 terms
and an intensive revision term depending on when a student
enrolls for the programme. Please see our academic calendar
and a time-table on website.
Full-time Programmes
The full-time programme is intended for those
who can attend classes during the day and is specially designed
to support students who have limited working experience. Classes
are held from Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 5.30pm. Students
following the Integrated Programme will receive approximately
500 hours of total class contact time, and they will be expected
to participate in other activities, including group assignments
and projects. Numerous other activities are also planned to make
their study at SIC a well rounded experience.
Part-time Programmes
The part-time programme is intended for students
who are working and who wish to attend classes after
work. Classes for these students are held two or three
times a week in the evening from 6:45pm to 10pm or on
Saturdays from 2:30pm to 6:30pm and total class contact
time for this programme will be about 270 hours, including
the intensive revision.
Policies
on Class Attendance, Retention and Expulsion
International students must meet the minimum
90% attendance requirement while local students are required
to meet the mimimum of 75%. The School strongly encourage
students to maximize their attendance as missing classes or
coming late for lessons will have adverse effect on their
studies.
All international students failing to meet the minimum attendance requirements will have their student pass cancelled and expel froom school. Local students who fail to meet the 75% minimum attendance requirement will be barred from attempting examinations.
