Year 2006 marked the re-birth of Informatics!

In FY2006, we launched a revitalized Informatics logo taking on a modern look as reflection of our renewed direction. The current brand equity is retained while adding a touch of quiet class and sophistication.

The revitalized logo represents our realigned values reflecting our commitment to our students. We promise an IT-Plus education - producing highly employable graduates by empowering them with applicable skills to excel in the workforce. In everything we do, we will put our students’ interest first and will continue to expand our global network of centres, giving our students true global education and experience.

Our Singapore operation was nominated as a finalist of ‘Best Host for International Students’ in Singapore Education Award 2006 organised by the Education Services Division of the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). As a nominee of the ‘Best Host for International Students’ category, it is a testament to our effort in providing an intellectually-stimulating environment with opportunities for international students to integrate into their host environment and optimize their learning.

Informatics continues to come through with academic excellence. Both our Hong Kong and Singapore operation passed the re-validation by Oxford Brookes University, UK to conduct a range of Bachelor (Hons) programmes in Computing. The panel of review assessor from Oxford Brookes University, UK was pleased with Informatics’ practice on assessment arrangements and the level of intellectual competency displayed by our students.

In conjunction with our renewed direction, we took on several initiatives. Always striving to be at the forefront of technology, Informatics introduced an online report card for student’s parent if they wish to receive their child’s academic assessment electronically. This progress report allows them to see their child’s academic grades, attendance and what lecturers say about him / her.

In addition, an Online Instant Response Admission System (OIRAS) was developed to evaluate student’s qualifications and present to them the choice of further education options with Informatics at any location they choose. With their highest qualifications, they will also be able to know instantly, the exempted modules in their choice programme. With these initiatives, we are re-engineering the private education business in view of the intense global competition.

Our promise to a student-centric approach that will drive all our initiatives saw the formulation of Global Alumni and Global Employment. The Global Alumni will enable our students globally to stay connected and the Global Employment is aimed to maximise our students’ and graduates’ employability and employment opportunities.
