Globalisation, supply chain shifts, digital transformation and not forgetting the AI zeitgeist are reshaping how businesses operate. Roles are evolving, companies are restructuring and the question on everyone’s — student or working professional alike — mind is…

“What Should I Study to Stay Relevant?”

It is no longer about simply attaining a degree, or an “advanced” one. In 2024, over 37 percent of Singaporeans aged 25 years and older hold a university education. With more graduates entering the workforce, standing out requires a future-ready education beyond just credentials.

Choosing the right programme should be a personal decision influenced by interest, ambition and strengths. However, one factor is universal. Your education must prepare you for real-world challenges.

Programmes such as the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Bachelor of Science (Hons) degrees in Tourism Management, International Business Management and Supply Chain Management can be strategic long-term career investments.

Ultimately, the goal is the same: to gain skills that translate into the workplace.

Career-focused programmes place strong emphasis on practical case studies, leadership and management skills, strategic thinking, project management and more.

While industries are constantly evolving, graduates need transferable skills that move with them across roles, sectors and even countries. Students should therefore evaluate programmes based on whether the curriculum and course structure equip them with the skills and confidence to step into today’s job market.

Singapore is a global business hub and a thriving centre for tourism. For students, this means learning in an environment where classroom theory is constantly reflected in real-world practice — creating opportunities to build professional networks, access career pathways and explore industry roles without relocating overseas.
