Having signed the contract with London-based Securities & Investment Institute (SII), Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) offers their business and finance students the opportunity to achieve Investment Administration Qualification (IAQ™).
Under the agreement NYP’s new Diploma in Fund Management & Administration will be launched for the Academic Year 2009 with current diplomas in Fund Management & Administration supported by IMAS and FICS accredited.
SII professional qualifications will be available to students due to collaboration between Singapore Institution of Higher Learning (IHL) and Institute SII.
“It is the leading and progressive examining, training and membership body for the industry,” says Chiang Kah Kee, director of NYP’s School of business management. “NYP’s collaboration with SII ensures that we produce not only industry ready but also internationally recognized graduates. Such talent will be sought after by Singapore’s financial industry.”
“This is the first time in Asia, where a local Institution of Higher Learning has included a professional qualification as part of its core academic syllabus,” says Simon Culhane FSI, chief executive, SII. “Responding to the needs of the industry for a job-ready pool of talents, and I congratulate NYP on its proactive market response.”
