Singapore turns to VU for SAP education

The Singapore Government is sponsoring up to 100 people to gain SAP skills through a postgraduate course offered by Victoria University (VU).

Up to 100 adult learners will receive course fee funding from the Singapore Government to undertake VU graduate certificate course in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with a specialisation in SAP.

Although most ERP courses are delivered at VU’s City Flinders campus in Melbourne, Australia, the sponsored students will be studying in Singapore in conjunction with local education provider Lithan Genovate. Victoria University also delivers ERP courses at Beijing Jiaotong University.

The Singapore students will also perform a seven-month paid internship as part of the program.

“This commitment from the Singapore Government to subsidise the cost of study for interns in its Professional Skills Program confirms the worldwide demand for SAP skills and the role universities can play in satisfying this demand,” said Paul Hawking, SAP academic programs director at Victoria University.

Students can also undertake SAP consultant certification in an eLearning environment as an extension of their Master of Business in ERP Systems, Hawking noted.
