The School of Business at SP is a leader in commerce education, delivering programs that blend strategic thinking with practical skills. The Diploma in Business Administration (DBA, Course Code T50) is a flagship 3-year full-time qualification (180 ECTS-equivalent, Bologna Process-aligned), equipping students with versatile expertise in management, marketing, finance, and operations. Students specialize in tracks like Digital Enterprise, International Business, or Human Capital Management, with core modules covering business analytics, economics, accounting, and law. Electives in fintech, sustainability, and entrepreneurship enhance adaptability, while hands-on learning through internships with firms like PwC, industry projects, and global immersions via SP’s Global Learning Programme builds industry-ready portfolios. The Diploma with Merit (DWM), awarded to top performers (GPA typically 3.5+ out of 4.0), recognizes academic excellence, leadership in co-curricular activities (CCAs), and personal qualities. DWM recipients may also vie for prestigious awards like the Lee Foundation Gold Medal, boosting credentials for elite job placements or university exemptions.
Graduates of the DBA with Merit earn a globally recognized diploma, securing roles in consulting, marketing, or startups, with seamless pathways to top-up bachelor’s degrees at institutions like NUS, RMIT, or the University of London.
Beyond the DBA, SP offers a broad spectrum of degrees, diplomas, and certificates. Foundational options include the Common Business Programme for exploration before specialization and diplomas like Accountancy or Supply Chain Management. Part-time qualifications, such as the Diploma in Business Practice (Administration), comprise modular certificates in digital transformation and leadership for professionals. Advanced diplomas, like the Specialist Diploma in Business Analytics, and postgraduate certificates in ESG reporting or financial modeling support upskilling, often SkillsFuture-subsidized. Master’s pathways via university partners enhance lifelong learning.
Admission to the DBA requires Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘O’ Levels with credits in English and Mathematics or equivalent; entry via Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) or Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) prioritizes merit, with scholarships for talent. Internationals need IELTS 6.0+ for English proficiency.
SP’s career services, alumni events, and collaborations with industry leaders like DBS Bank connect graduates to global opportunities. Committed to inclusivity, innovation, and ethical leadership, SP’s diplomas with merit, degrees, certificates, and advanced qualifications in business administration empower students to shape dynamic economies, making it Singapore’s cornerstone for business education excellence.
