Nanyang Institute of Management leaps into the top 10

Kaplan Singapore, PSB Academy and Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS) all receive more than 1,000 votes each to remain within the top five most popular PEIs. Kaplan Singapore and PSB Academy are ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively this year, with MDIS following closely behind in 4th place after receiving only 31 votes lesser than PSB Academy. With about half the number of votes for MDIS,

the Nanyang Institute of Management rounds up the top 5 with 543 votes, constituting 10.9% of the respondents.


The Nanyang Institute of Management was only established in 2001, but offers a wide range of courses through its four schools – School of Business, School of Tourism & Hospitality, School of Early Childhood Education and School of Language. However, it is interesting to note that the Nanyang Institute of Management is not particularly popular with potential Bachelor’s Degree entrants (ranked 13th, 7.7%) and Diploma entrants (ranked 13th, 8.9%) as compared to how popular it is with potential Post-Graduate Degree entrants (ranked 6th, 15.0%) and Professional Certification or Short-Term Courses / Workshop entrants (ranked 5th, 12.8%).

The Nanyang Institute of Management moves an impressive seven places from last year to land in 5th position, with support from 10.9% of the total respondents. Although the school received only 543 votes (as compared to 1,042 votes for MDIS), it has managed to attain a better ranking than other prominent PEIs in the top 10, such as James Cook University Singapore and LASALLE College of the Arts.
