August 11, 2015

MDISThe Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS) recently announced that it has plans to set up its 3rd overseas campus and this time around has chosen Chennai, India to be the next overseas campus destination. MDIS initially opened its first overseas campus in Tashkent, Uzbekistan back in 2008 and later opened out a second campus in Johor, Malaysia.

MDIS has now decided to invest $10 million (SGD) and collaborate with India’s Vels Institute of Science, Technology and Advanced Studies to launch its 3rd campus which will be spread across 70,000 square feet. The new campus will offer both diploma and master degrees in the areas of business and management. The Chennai campus will start accepting applications from October 2015 and will start offering more courses in 2016.

In a statement, Dr R Theyvendran, Secretary-General of MDIS said “Singapore’s education has a stellar reputation not just in the region, but globally. There is demand from students from around the world to pursue programmes with the Singapore brand, evident from the vast number of countries that students at MDIS in Singapore come from. This is the reason why we are taking bold steps and investing in this third overseas campus in India. We hope to fly the Singapore name high in these markets”

Indian parents place a lot of emphasis on the quality of education they give their children and a lot of parents prefer to send their children overseas to study at foreign universities. Now that MDIS is setting up a campus in Chennai, it will most likely attract a large number of applications.
