Asiainstitut of Management (AM)
was founded
in 1996 as a brand name with
its mission is to provide high quality, relevant management
development programs through strategic partnership with various
higher tertiary institutions, professional bodies, industries
and companies in the world that are intellectually stimulating
and appropriate to individual executives and companies or
consortia of companies.
Through years
of training and development, and research have moulded us into

that are best suited to meet the needs and wants of our
customers to increase organizational performance. AM seeks to
inculcate a love of learning, which will see our students take
pride in being the best professionals they can be and in
whatever context (business, private practice or government) they
choose to practice. Graduates have excellent employment
prospects across a wide range of careers in both the public and
private sectors of Singapore
and also internationally. Since then, it has played a pivotal
role in providing new opportunities for tertiary education and
self-development for many graduates from Singapore
Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic,
Nanyang Polytechnic and Republic Polytechnic
which make up of 98% of the current enrolled students in the
undergraduate program and the remaining 2% consists of students
with either GCE "A"
Level
or equivalent qualifications pursuing the Bachelor of Business
Administration program offers by the University of Canberra
through Asiainstitut of Management (AM) since 1999.
For those who
wish to gain direct admission to the University of Canberra and
or concern about coping with the university study and the
benefits acquire from the smaller class sizes and additional
academic support, AM provides the University Preparation Program: Diploma of
Business Administration for these group of students that link
with a range of undergraduate degrees at various Commonwealth
universities.
With its
experience in running both undergraduate and postgraduate
programs from the University of Canberra, AM is selected by
Yishun Junior College
in March 2005 as the first private education provider in
Singapore to offer its University Preparation Program – Diploma
of Business Administration to students in Yishun Junior College
while doing their GCE “A” level. Upon completion of the
University Preparation Program, students will be given advanced
standing to the second year of the Bachelor of Business
Administration degree program from the University of Canberra.
AM is
committed to being a good corporate citizen. As a centre for
business management, AM’s community efforts focus primarily on
the upgrading of graduates from the various polytechnics in
Singapore through its
Emmanuel
Undergraduate and Postgraduate Bursary Awards dated December 1999 to selected students to pursue
either the Bachelor and or Master degree programs with the
University of Canberra. Following that, the
2005
Emmanuel first year Undergraduate Scholarship for Bachelor of
Business Administration was launched in October
2004. This scholarship is exclusive to students of Yishun Junior
College and is applicable to students who pursue the first year
BBA course offered by University of
Canberra at its Singapore international study centre, AM.
AM plans its
activities in the light of the external context, monitors their
implementation, and builds on the outcomes for quality
improvement. Its approaches to quality assurance focus on formal
processes for course approval and reviews of academic units. As
such, all examination papers from the University of Canberra
will be administered by invigilators from IDP Australia
(Singapore). It is audited by the Australian Universities
Quality Agency (AUQA) to ensure the consistency and quality
assurance in delivery of offshore programs by the University of
