The Lee Foundation Achievement Award in TESOL, 2017

"The 2 years spent pursuing a Master degree at SUSS was nothing short of incredible. Our professors, who have extensive experience in the language learning realm, maintained a rich learning environment that encouraged constructive discussions during lessons. As our modules were premised on practical research strands, I was able to employ many insights gleaned from our tutorial sessions to enhance language learning experiences for my students. The academic rigour of this programme meant a considerable amount of assignments. However, the close bond that my classmates and I had built due to the small class size and our professors' constant encouragement motivated us to persevere. Till date, my classmates and I speak of how much we miss attending tutorial sessions - such was the impact of the programme. I would like to especially thank A/P Benny Lee for being our pivotal pillar of support and cheering us on towards the 'finish line'. Further, my sincere gratitude extends to the late Mr Lee Kong Chian's organisation for encouraging my academic journey further through the TESOL Silver and Achievement awards. "

"大学四年,是与学校共同成长的四年。

四年时光,见证了学校的蓬勃发展。原名UniSIM,现SUSS,从部分时间课程到全日制课程,从最初的BLK A的拥挤校舍,到BLK B,BLK C,BLK D的大型室内体育馆… … 短短几年,日新月异。转换隶属关系,从合作型学府升格为国家第六所公立大学。表面的校舍扩建雄伟豪迈,背后的心酸历程不言而喻,上演着真实版的励志传奇。

四年学习,结识了许多优秀的老师和校友,他们每个人的故事都在教我:以乐观豁达的态度为生活信念,用积极坚韧的意志支撑生活信念。还有毕业典礼中,坐在台上的老师和嘉宾,他们每个人周身上下都散发着积极努力得来的优秀。

大学四年,理应有所得,有所悟。希望我也能向他们一样积极、坚韧。

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the donors, i.e. Tamil Language Council & Sri Vinayaka Exports Pte Ltd, for expressing their dedicated support and recognition of academic achievements. These awards were not just a mere symbol of those challenging three years, but also exhibited a prominent message of encouragement for future endeavours.

As an ex-inmate and ex-drug user, it is far beyond my imagination to be the top graduating student and receiving the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) Gold Award.

Thank you SUSS for giving me this chance to excel and the generosity of the donor for this award.

I am a Christian and I would like to say this will also be impossible if God had not changed my life entirely around. Above all, I thank God for everything.

May the knowledge and skills that I've gained through SUSS be a blessing to many that I would come in touch with."

NCS Silver Award, 2017

"Firstly, I would like to extend my appreciation to NCS Pte Ltd for their generosity and support in donating the awards for the BICT students. It is an honour to be presented an award in recognition of our hard work and efforts.

The thing that I really like about studying in SUSS was the flexibility of learning for working adults. There were times where I had to skip my classes due to work commitment. Thankfully, the online learning resources, such as lesson recordings, were available for the students to access. In case of any doubts, the lecturers were just an email away.

The other valuable asset that I have gained here were to manage my time well and focus on the main priorities on hand. The challenge that I often faced was to juggle my time well between work, studies and personal life. There were numerous times when I had to give my family or friends' gatherings a miss because I had to attend lessons, rush for my assignments or revise for my examination. However, since I had chosen to take this path, it was almost impossible to have the best of both worlds so sacrifices have to be made. Hence, I am very thankful to my family and friends for their understanding for the past three years.

Lastly, thank you to all the lecturers for your patience and guidance! They were always very willing to clarify my doubts and ensure that I understood the concepts well. And many thanks to the staff of SUSS for your support and help!"

Anthony Yeo Memorial Gold Award, 2016
Graduate Representative

"Having to face the challenge of juggling between full-time work and part-time studies gives one an even greater sense of achievement. My journey with UniSIM has been nothing short of phenomenal. The flexibility of UniSIM allows one to undertake their studies at their own comfortable pace. Students are inspired by the lessons taught with such passion by dedicated lecturers. UniSIM’s administrative staff are also prompt to answer inquires, and throughout my time there, they have been extremely helpful. UniSIM would even go the extra mile to assist students based on their individual needs and situation.

One of the most outstanding memories I had at UniSIM was meeting the Counselling Head of Program, Dr. Cecilia Soong. Despite her busy schedule, she always took time off to interact with the students through scheduled meals, and would send encouraging emails during the busy periods. I am glad that I chose to pursue further studies at UniSIM because it provided a conducive and ideal environment for learning through part-time studies. Thank you UniSIM for making my learning journey so enjoyable!"

Institute Of Materials East Asia Book Prize, 2016

"First of all, I'd like to thank Dr Patrick Loh and the Institute of Materials for the opportunity and support given. The awards are strong recognition and reward for my commitment and academic achievements. I have never dreamt of getting any award since I took up this course 4 years ago.

It was a fulfilling experience studying in UniSIM and I’ve definitely gained more than just textbook knowledge in my university education. I've also learned how to better juggle the different commitments in life and how to be an independent learner. The helpful lecturers had definitely made a positive difference in my studies as many of them are from the biomedical industry and are experienced educators, who guided students and answered our doubts.

I'm also glad and excited to know that my study buddy Justin is also an award recipient. He was awarded the Dr Patrick H.M. Loh Silver Award. Having a friend to revise school work and study for the exams is extremely important as it helps one another to realise what was missed out in our individual revisions, and also two brains work better than one when it comes to problem solving.

I wish all undergraduates the best in their studies and always have the thirst and hunger for knowledge and learning!"

CFA Singapore Silver Award, 2015
CIMB Investment Achievement Award, 2015

"I have never dreamt of getting any award since I took up this course 4 years ago. The journey felt so far and so uncertain then. Far as I'm not sure how long it would take, and uncertain because I don't know if I could even pass the modules! I told my family members and friends that to be able to pass, and complete the programme, is already a great blessing. I just put in my best in every module that I took.

I felt very happy when I knew that I'm finally going to graduate and Convocation would be held on 8 Oct 2015. But I was even more thrilled when I received the award letters informing me that I had been awarded the CFA Singapore Silver Award and CIMB Investment Achievement Award. It was such a pleasant surprise as I wasn't really expecting any award. It felt really good to be recognised for the hard work that I had put in and felt really special to be singled out for the good results that I had achieved. It was also a tremendous honor to receive the awards at the Convocation ceremony.

I would to take this opportunity to thank CFA and CIMB for sponsoring the awards. They have given me such great honor that money cannot buy. I have never felt so honoured in my life and I'm really grateful to them. They truly made my Convocation so much more memorable and honourable! Although getting awards should never be the reason for taking up a degree course, their awards were like a pat on the back to one who achieved good results through hard work. I do hope their kind contributions would continue to surprise and make a difference to our future course mates. A BIG BIG THANK YOU TO YOU!

In addition to thanking my sponsors, I really would also like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow course mates/module mates who fought together with me, and all my lecturers, for their guidance which helped make the awards possible for me. Also not forgetting all the UniSIM staff who supported me in my journey. I know there are so much going on behind the scene that people don't see but much effort had been put in. Yes, Dr Ding Ding, Faith Cheong, Karmen, etc., you are one of them! You people rock! Thank you, all."
