THE pandemic may have wreaked havoc worldwide, but it has also given rise to learning and developing extra skills towards a future shaped by the needs of the times.
According to a recent survey by Mckinsey*, 69% of respondents report an increase in skill-building during the pandemic, suggesting strong demand for education, learning and upskilling. As the world continues to adapt to disruptions and accelerated changes caused by the pandemic, the need for a well-equipped and trained workforce is imperative.
With the current landscape, it is not only important to choose a reputable institution, but also necessary to select one that delivers an industry-centric curriculum, so students can gain industry-relevant knowledge. To be ready for the changing environment, the institute should also impart future-ready skills and interdisciplinary education to provide students with the breadth and width of education choices for cross-learning.
MDIS offers more than 70 programmes from Diploma to Doctorate level.
As the oldest not-for-profit professional institute in Singapore, Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS) partners with seven globally recognised university partners from the United Kingdom - including Bangor University, Teesside University, University of Sunderland, University of Roehampton, Edinburgh Napier University, Northumbria University and Leeds Beckett University - to deliver a multi-disciplinary curriculum for the region.

Some of the disciplines include business and social sciences (comprising business, media and communications, as well as psychology), engineering and technology (comprising engineering, technology, safety and environmental management), fashion and jewellery design, nursing and many more.
