SIM Campus development and extension
SIM has announced a Master Plan to further expand its Clementi campus at a platform topping up ceremony on October 9, 2009. The SIM Campus Development Master Plan which will cost $300 million and is expected to be completed by 2014 will be rolled out in two phases. It will render an additional 56,000 square meters of space, more than double its current campus, thus consolidating its position as the largest private tertiary institution in Singapore, both in terms of total campus size and student enrolment. The extended campus will cater primarily to the growing needs of the SIM University. As the only private university recognized by the Ministry of Education to award its own degrees, UniSIM caters to the tertiary education and lifelong learning needs of working adults. Offering over 40 programmes from four schools, its graduate and post-graduate degree programmes offered through a flexible mode of study are used by working adults who are looking for higher qualifications, career advancement or self-fulfillment. With the added incentive of a MOE subsidy of up to 40% for its students introduced in 2008, UniSIM has seen a substantial jump in its enrolment. It now has some 10,000 students, compared to 8,000 in 2007. This number is expected to grow by another 40% to 14,000 by 2020. UniSIM caps its annual intake to only about half of applications received due to limited facilities.
