Business school launches two new programmes
The Stansfield School of Business in Chennai
The Stansfield School of Business is launching two new specialised postgraduate programmes in Aviation Management and Education Management this October. The Chennai institute is a division of the Singapore-based Stansfield Group, which runs six campuses in Singapore and has academic alliances with several top U.K. and Australian universities.
The new specialisations add to the 10 already on offer as part of Stansfield's Postgraduate Diploma in Management programme. Current specialisations include international business, tourism and hospitality, healthcare and entrepreneurial management.
The syllabus of the one-year course has both an academic and industry-relevent thrust. It has been developed in consultation with businesses and industry, but also draws on the expertise of the Stansfield Group's 60-year old graduate school, the Singapore Institute of Commerce.
The programme includes a one-month residential module in Singapore with internship and project work. Graduates of the course are given job placements in India, Singapore and abroad.
Vidhi Lalchand, who has just completed her course at the school says it helped give her a wider outlook. "It does prepare us for global competition and makes us aware of the challenges we'd face in a global marketplace." The high degree of professionalism helps students gain presentation skills.
