Introduction

Informatics Education Singapore Pte Ltd is a full subsidiary of Informatics Education Limited. Conveniently located at the thriving suburb of Jurong East, it is in close proximity to the Business and Technology belt of Singapore. Its 600,000 sq ft campus can accommodate up to 15,000 students, and is one of the largest campuses amongst Private Education Institutions in Singapore.

Our facilities
Well-equipped with full-fledged academic facilities, our Informatics campus houses more than 80 classrooms and computer labs, custom-built gaming and animation lab, engineering lab and spacious lecture theatres. It remains highly attractive with a list of comprehensive sporting facilities for Basketball, Soccer, Street Soccer, Tennis, Cricket, Badminton, Table Tennis and upcoming sports like Archery and Wall-climbing.
Students can also enjoy wireless internet access in most areas of the campus.
Currently with an enrolment of about 4000 students, of which 1100 are International students from 25 countries, Informatics Singapore brings students a truly inter-cultural experience, allowing them to study and mingle with fellow students from different nations.
Our global presence and alliance
Informatics is one of the largest education and training service provider in Asia with a global network of 143 campuses in more than 23 countries. It offers programmes from foundation to undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the faculties of Information Technology, Business and Engineering.

Professional certification is also available with short courses for working executives who can also enjoy a wide variety of postgraduate courses we offer.

Our strong affiliation with 24 renowned universities from Australia, UK and US also means our courses are constantly updated and monitored by the awarding universities to ensure high standards. At the end of the course, students would receive certifications awarded by these institutions.

We are constantly improving
The past year has been an experiential one, which saw many new programmes and improvements taking place over our existing system.
Curriculum
As part of the holistic educational experience, the Enrichment and Sports Development (ESD) was introduced to encourage students to participate in co-curricular activities in the creative arts, basic professional skills and sports and games, so as to develop all-rounded individuals amongst them and ensure they make good use of their full day on campus. The ESD programme also grooms our students to be employment-ready when they complete their studies.
Improved system
Part of our initiative as a leading Private Education Organisation (PEO) is also to be on the forefront of technology. These new services were introduced to increase service efficacy:
-Electronic Attendance System: This system, using the same technology of scanning bar codes, reduces the amount of service effort previously spent on taking attendances in every class. The Electronic Attendance System also rules out human errors and errant behaviours.
-Electronic Report Card: This online report card allows students’ parents to be in the know of their children’s progress in school. Details such as attendance and examination results are sent to them on a regular basis.
-SMS Result Slip: Students who subscribe to this service are able to receive their results via their mobile phones. This is especially convenient for foreign students who would often need to travel.
-International Student Management: Our entire IMIS system was upgraded and immensely improved to manage our International students’ data in the most efficient manner. This improved, integrated and informative system now allows us to be proactive in managing International students’ visa needs and attendance requirements.
New services
Student Concierge
A special team was set up to highlight and fulfill the needs of International Students, especially those who have arrived in Singapore for the first time. This team from our International Office takes special care to ensure hospitality begins before students leave their home countries through our concierge services such as arranging for accommodation and airport pick-ups. Students are facilitated in their Student’s Pass applications, and a structured orientation program provided comprehensive guidance to help them settle into this new environment
Global Employment Services
To remain relevant to the market’s demands, our Global Employment Services (GES) department was set up to maximise our alumni’s employability and job opportunities with some core areas of interest: Career Counseling, Career Mapping and Career Data Banking.
Internships also ensure that students are introduced into the real working environments before they complete their courses. Our NITEC-certified Hospitality and Tourism Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses put our students in good stead for future employment, with industry attachment opportunities and thereby allowing them to attain realistic levels of expectations of their future careers. On-campus, our newly-built Hospitality Service Training Room ensures students get to learn with a hands-on approach.

Pastoral Care
A Pastoral Care Centre was set up to improve the learning experience of our students. This centre sets out to tackle important issues and needs of the students such as learning, health, social and emotional developments. A regular time-table is put up for students to meet with our very own counselors to discuss these issues/problems/requests (academic or personal) that they may have.

Improved Learning and Recreation Facilities
Many more studying and relaxation areas with free wireless internet access were opened up for the convenience of students who need quiet times in between classes. An enhanced printing centre together with the upgrade of our PC labs also enhance their learning process.
Convenient Testing Facilities
In a recent relocation, Thomson Prometric, a global leader in Technology-enabled Testing and Assessment Services, shifted their only Prometric Testing Center (PTC) in Singapore to our campus on 2 May 2007. This move brings much convenience to our students and the public alike, who can now easily access hundreds of tests hosted by 600 big-name providers in the Academic, Professional, Government, Corporate and Information Technology markets.
More events
A variety of activities such as cultural events, celebrations and sports events organised throughout the year allow students to interact and understand the cultures and values from different countries. Working closely with the various embassies, we try our best to make our students feel at home with co-related events during their native festivals.
Informatics Singapore continues to strive to improve its offerings to its students with course enhancements and collaborations with third parties. A 16-man academic and curricular team ensures that existing programmes are constantly reviewed and enhanced to better suit our students evolving lifestyles and the market’s increasing demand. Some of such recent projects include the Proficiency In English (PIE) and the Executive Diploma programmes, reconfigured to fit students’ needs and their busy schedules.

Achievements

Informatics amassed an interesting list of awards and accolades in the past year, once again providing testament to our continuous strive in ensuring service and academic excellence. To name a few:

(1) Finalist - Best Host for International Students - Singapore Education Awards (Education Services Division – Singapore Tourism Board)
Informatics was the only PEO in this inaugural award hosted by SPRING Singapore. This has given us a confidence boost and is testament of the excellent work put in by our International Office, Student Service and Academic teams.

(2) Our students have also fared well in achievements, with one of our students being the proud recipient of the prestigious Golden Key Award. This scholarship programme is formed by a few key universities in Australia to reward the top 15% of each faculty. Students must have displayed excellent academic and leadership qualities. Our student was invited on-campus to University of Southern Queensland to pursue her Postgraduate studies.

(3) Our exemplary high percentage of first class graduates from our Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering program with Northumbria University was also regarded by the university as the “best model collaboration”, leading to a revalidation of the programme with Informatics.

(4) Service Excellence Award (SPRING Singapore)
We have gleaned this award for 3 consecutive years, and it has encouraged us to want to make this a permanent feature in our list of achievements.

(5) Singapore Quality Class (SQC) – Private Education Organisation (PEO) status
