SIM University, otherwise known as UniSIM, could very well become Singapore's sixth autonomous university and be fully funded by the government. The other five are the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Management University, Singapore University of Technology and Design, and Singapore Institute of Technology.
This proposal by the Ministry of Education is in the works for the privately-run university, said Acting Minister for Education (Higher Education and Skills) Ong Ye Kung at UniSIM's convocation ceremony this morning.
