The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and SIM University (UniSIM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Strategic Partnership on Continuing Education at the SAFTI Military Institute this morning.
Under the partnership, beginning in July, non-graduate SAF personnel will be able to take up any UniSIM part-time undergraduate courses, while gaining credits for their SAF Professional Military Education (PME) courses.
Speaking at the ceremony, Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General Desmond Kuek said: "With the signing of the MOU, we expect even greater participation from SAF personnel in UniSIM's programmes in the coming years. Under the MOU, SAF personnel pursuing UniSIM Undergraduate Programmes will have relevant SAF Professional Military Education and Training courses recognised by UniSIM."
UniSIM President, Professor Cheong Hee Kiat, said: "Currently, there is already a good demand for UniSIM degree programmes from SAF personnel. UniSIM offers knowledge and expertise in a wide range of disciplines and is ready to develop new expertise and capability to meet the needs of our partners. The MOU will enable sharing of experience and knowledge resources and also pave the way for more collaboration between UniSIM and SAF on continuing education in the future."
