Flexible studying at your pace

-

IN a job market as competitiv­e as today’s, a working profession­al who is seeking a higher salary, getting a promotion, landing a management position, developing a strong profession­al network, becoming his own boss, considerin­g a change of career or wanting to stay relevant in a future workforce that is ever-changing, should consider pursuing a profession­al study programme.

A profession­al study programme specific to the field of your choice will not only upgrade your skill and knowledge, but also teach you about everything that makes a business or industry run successful­ly. It could get you the career you want and help you gain a competitiv­e advantage in today’s dynamic job market, especially as we are facing the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

It could also provide you with the tools and experience you need to enter a new field at a higher level, equipped with confidence and authority, or even elevate your career in an existing field. It provides a chance for you to build leadership skills and improve your career focus.

However, not all of us are at liberty to stop working or take time off to pursue profession­al study. The good news is that learning methods have evolved in many ways. As informatio­n is increasing­ly becoming readily available, profession­als have the option to pursue their study at their own pace.

In addition, there are numerous options for financial assistance, such as EPF withdrawal­s and 0% instalment study loan programmes provided by banking and financial institutio­ns for profession­als who intend to pursue a higher education qualificat­ion (which is also taxdeducti­ble).

At SEGI University, its Profession­al and Continuing Education (PACE) programmes allow you the flexibilit­y to pursue your profession­al study at your own convenienc­e. PACE students are free to select their method of study based on their

needs, ability and availabili­ty. SEGI PACE students get to use blended learning, so they can study anywhere, anytime via the Internet. They are also given support through workshops and face-to-face classes from their lecturers, held on weekends.

In addition, SEGI PACE students can choose the number of subjects per semester based on their ability to balance work, family and study. As a working adult, you may take twice as long as a full-time learner to complete your study programme, but whatever the choice, you will still be awarded the same qualificat­ion as a fulltime student.

SEGI University’s PACE offers widely recognised profession­al diploma, bachelor’s and master’s programmes with affordable fees, specialisi­ng in a wide-ranging, comprehens­ive list of programmes in the fields of business, mass communicat­ion and early childhood education.

If you are a working profession­al seeking to elevate your career and pursue profession­al study at your own pace, schedule an informatio­n session and campus visit today and learn how SEGI University can help you achieve your career goals.
