Will there be any make-up class if I miss my class, eg, due to illness?

However students are to note that there is a minimum attendance requirement for each of the programme here. Failure to comply with the minimum requirement without valid reasons may result in students being barred from the examinations.
Are the foreign universities degrees recognised by the Singapore Government?
There is no government authority in Singapore that assesses or grants recognition to degrees awarded by overseas universities for employment purposes. Each individual employer (in the private or public sector) decides on the criteria for recruitment based on its organisational strategies. This includes the type of qualification acceptable for employment in each organisation.
However we may refer to the general guideline set by the Public Service Division (PSD) which states that for graduate positions, they accept degrees from all universities accredited by the home government of the country where the university is located. This applies to degrees obtained full-time or part-time, through distance-learning or twinning programmes.

Are foreign universities degrees recognised by employers in Singapore?
With regards to recruitment and advancement within an organisation, both public and private sector employers have their own hiring guidelines pertaining to an individual’s academic qualifications. It is important to note that besides the academic qualifications, other factors such as your aptitude, interest, past work experience and remuneration package expectations will also be considered by employers.
