Additional information

This syllabus has been designed to meet the requirements of professional bodies while giving students the competitive edge.

A curriculum that is developed to fill the needs of the business sector.

We want to ensure that our syllabus is relevant to the demands of today’s challenging business environment. Therefore INTI collaborates with an Industry Advisory Board that consists of respected members of the business community. These good standing leaders advise and contribute towards the design and development of our curriculum.

This constant feedback helps us navigate the gap between the needs of the industry and the expectations of graduates. It helps us to create a robust, up-to-date syllabus which is aligned with the needs of today’s businesses and outperforms the higher education sector in terms of graduate employability numbers. INTI’s hands-on approach to learning exposes students to actual working conditions in the workplace through internship placements and employer projects with the world’s leading companies.

Students enjoy internship placements with several multinational organisations around the country, with a 100% acceptance rate at AEON, Infotrek, Workforce.org, Cyber Village, and other prestigious companies. Equipping students with invaluable work experience even before they graduate.

Students are also assigned to actual real-life projects, including a marketing project with Digi and an in-depth collaborative research project with Zalora, one of the fastest-growing e-commerce platforms in Asia.

How an INTI programme enhances your education pathway

Our students are given a holistic education that covers both academic subjects and skills, training, and accreditation. This enhances their academic learning, leadership skills, networking, and personal development. We achieve this through a variety of activities, workshops and seminars that expose you to actual business scenarios.

As a supplement to your academic programme, you're also offered additional seminars on Business English, Mathematics, Public Speaking, Statistics, as well as practical workshops in Microsoft Office and the Adobe Creative Suite. Even before you graduate, you are set on the right track for professional accreditation.

Should you take any finance and accounting courses, we will guide you in your pursuit of associate memberships with certified international accreditation bodies such as the ACCA, AIA, CPA, IPA, ICAA, and ICAEW.
