Bien Venue Wilkommen Selamat Datang Huan Ying Vannakam
Singapore Institute of Commerce extends a very warm welcome to
all international students.
At SIC, we have always sought to maintain a strong international
flavour both in terms of our programmes, academic faculty and,
not least of all, our students. Together with our specialisation
in prestigious degree and diploma programmes and international
faculty, having an international student body ensures that we
offer a truly ‘global’ learning environment.
While studying overseas offers a valuable opportunity
to gain international experience, at SIC we also understand that
initially it can also be quite difficult. Being away from one’s
home, family and friends is unnerving. Moreover, getting used
to a different country, cultural habits and customs can be a challenge.
We pride ourselves in the support services we offer to our international
students. Parents can rest assured that their children are being
well looked after and supported. Most of our academic staff have
studied overseas themselves so they are very familiar with the
kinds of problems some international students face. They are,
therefore, in a good position to be able to offer the right kind
of encouragement. Our student council also includes international
students which means that they can also offer a further informal
support system. Our induction programmes also include a specific
component for providing international students with information
and support for their studies.
The extensive pastoral care for international
students is backed up with a strong administrative support offering
sponsorship and advice about immigration procedures and requirements.
We also have a designated English Language Department with EFL
specialists to support your language skills.
With 60 years of experience, international students
can be guaranteed of a truly wonderful learning experience at
SIC.
