The Marketing Institute of Singapore (MIS), founded in 1973 as a not-for-profit organization, serves as Singapore’s national body for sales and marketing professionals. Evolving into the MIS Business School, it has become a leading private education institution (PEI) in Singapore and the region, dedicated to creating and connecting marketers through holistic, industry-relevant education. With a mission to promote marketing as a philosophy, MIS fosters comprehensive business knowledge, critical thinking, and practical skills within a robust academic framework. Over its 50+ years, MIS has empowered thousands of professionals via networking events, executive development, and a vibrant community of alumni, lecturers, and industry experts. Located at 10 Raeburn Park, Block C #01-33, in Singapore’s central business district—conveniently near Tanjong Pagar MRT—MIS’s modern facilities support dynamic learning, including interactive classrooms and resources for collaborative projects.
MIS’s Diploma in Business Management (part-time) stands as a foundational qualification, ideal for aspiring leaders seeking versatile business acumen. This diploma, spanning approximately 12-18 months, equips students with essential competencies in management principles, strategic planning, and operational efficiency. The curriculum covers core modules such as business communication, organizational behavior, financial accounting, marketing fundamentals, and human resource management, blending theoretical insights with real-world case studies and simulations. Delivered by experienced industry practitioners, the program emphasizes ethical decision-making, innovation, and adaptability in Singapore’s competitive marketplace. Graduates earn a recognized diploma that enhances employability in roles like business development executives, marketing coordinators, or operations supervisors.
Aligned with global standards, MIS’s diplomas integrate transferable skills for seamless progression. Entry requires 5 GCE ‘O’ level credits, or equivalents like 3 ‘O’ levels with 3 years’ experience, Higher Nitec/ITC, or MIS’s Certificate in Sales and Marketing (CSM), with mature candidates assessed case-by-case. The program supports working professionals through flexible scheduling, small class sizes, and mentorship, ensuring personalized growth.
Beyond the Diploma in Business Management, MIS offers a spectrum of degrees, diplomas, and certificates across business disciplines. Foundational options include the Diploma in Sales and Marketing (launched in 1981), focusing on sales strategies, consumer behavior, and digital marketing tools. Specialized diplomas cover event management, human capital management, and service excellence, each 6-12 months long. Certificates like the WSQ Advanced Certificate in Training and Assessment provide quick skill boosts in niche areas such as tele-sales techniques and KPI management.
For advanced pursuits, MIS facilitates pathways to bachelor’s degrees, specialist diplomas, and even master’s programs through partnerships, awarding credentials recognized regionally and internationally. Postgraduate certificates in entrepreneurship, sustainable business practices, and communications enhance professional portfolios. These qualifications, often modular and part-time, cater to lifelong learners, with experiential elements like internships and industry projects.
MIS’s alumni network connects graduates to opportunities in multinationals, SMEs, and startups, bolstered by career services and events.
