UEL welcomes newest Global Family members

2 Nov 2021

Beacon International College logo

Beacon International College, Singapore

Beacon International College has been established since 2004 and has served more than 5000 students over the years. Beacon International College is proud to be in partnership with University of East London to offer students an opportunity to pursue the following MBA pathway programmes in Singapore:

  • MBA (General)
  • MBA (Business Analytics)
  • MBA (Digital Marketing)
  • MBA (FinTech)
  • MBA (Project Management)
  • MBA (Supply Chain Management)

COVID-19 resulted in a global disruption of business functions, forcing employers and employees to enhance their skillsets to stay relevant at their organisations. 'Upgrading' has become the new buzzword ever since. Many individuals have taken the opportunity to upgrade their knowledge and skills by enrolling onto an MBA programme. Beacon International College, Singapore has seized the opportunity to collaborate with UEL to offer MBA programmes which provide a much-needed boost for Beacon to diversify beyond its traditional markets, penetrating into the local market and beyond Asia. The partnership allows Beacon to strengthen its suite of programmes by offering market-relevant Masters level programmes which are highly popular in Singapore and Southeast Asia. UEL's MBA programmes further allows Beacon to broaden and deepen its market segmentation beyond courses under the CPE's EduTrust certification framework. Beacon also hopes to strengthen the partnership with UEL and offer a wider range of Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes across various fields of study in the near future.

Upholding a well-established international reputation, UEL's superlative academic standards are underpinned by its research-informed teaching along with its embedding of technology-enhanced learning and assessment to nurture future-ready graduates. As a forward-thinking institution, UEL equips students with the remarkable proficiency to nurture job specific skills and expertise through its well-thought-out programmes. 

Together with UEL, Beacon International College aims to furnish our students with global knowledge to enhance their employment prospects. Our pedagogical methods also enable students to gain predictive insights into the risks and successes of the dynamic business environments through case studies and quality sessions with skilled practitioners. Upon graduation, our students will be able to effectively contribute their academic knowledge and skills to the business & hospitality world. We have seen many of our Beacon graduates succeed and are now running businesses or doing well in their careers. Beacon's motto is "Beacon We Care" and we always aim to help our students succeed in life. 

London School of Business & Finance, Singapore

Why is the partnership with UEL important for LSBF Singapore? What are the aims in the short and longer term?

The University of East London (UEL) is a new addition to the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) Singapore's international portfolio of leading institutions among Europe and North America. The partnership allows LSBF to offer a range of both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes for students including two Bachelor of Sciences in Computer Science and Cyber Security & Networks and two Masters of Sciences in Computer Science and Information Security & Digital Forensics. 

In today's digitalised world, almost every industrial sector uses technology to conduct business. This rising trend has transformed computer science technology into one of the fastest-growing employment fields across the globe. The School of Technology at LSBF aims to transform learners into global citizens and game-changing graduates who can address complex issues with a global perspective. Specifically, our mission is to provide a high-quality education that prepares students for the challenges of the professional environment with the best skillsets and prepare them as future world leaders. Through the importance on academic service standards, innovation, flexible teaching methods, and confirming that our teaching and learning experience maximises student engagement and opportunities, the strategic partnership with UEL seeks to extend LSBF's positive impact on an increasingly diverse student population. We are excited to expand on this collaboration in the future, bringing students more career-focused programmes in Singapore and internationally.

UEL graduates win at British Computer Society Awards

Metropolitan College celebrates the distinction of 6 University of East London graduates at British Computer Society Awards in Greece

11 Oct 2021

Students at their BCS awards ceremony with Metropolitan College partners for UEL.

The awarded graduates have been studying at Metropolitan College's Computing programmes of study, offered in collaboration with University of East London.

The British Computer Society (the Chartered Institute for IT) Hellenic Section hosted an awards ceremony for 18 excellent University graduates who excelled in their undergraduate and graduate studies in the field of IT. Six of the awarded graduates are University of East London graduates who have successfully completed their studies at Metropolitan College's Faculty of Computing in Greece.

The UEL graduates who stood out during their studies at Metropolitan College and have been awarded are the following: 

  • Giannis Basa, MSc Data Science, University of East London 
  • Eleni Gkatsonidou, BSc Computer Science, University of East London
  • Georgios Gkikas, BSc Computer Science, University of East London
  • Vasilis, Karatzas, BSc Computer Networks, University of East London
  • Constantinos, Stathis, BSc Computing, University of East London
  • Lampros, Taxiarchis, BSc Computing, University of East London

The BCS event took place at the British Ambassador's Residence in Athens - Greece, with the presence of HM Ambassador Matthew Lodge, Minister of Digital Governance Kyriakos Pierrakakis and the BCS Hellenic Section President and BCS Fellow Christos Stavroulakis. Metropolitan College was also represented by Antonis Mouhtaropoulos, Dean of Digital Learning & EdTech and Deputy Director (Academic), Thessaloniki campus.    

The BCS Awards constitution is annually organised to honour those who have acquired the necessary hard and soft skills, have deep knowledge of their chosen specialisation and are prepared for the demands of the IT field. It is worth mentioning that this is the second year in a row that Metropolitan College's Computing graduates, who have completed their studies in the courses provided by University of East London, are being awarded. That fact underlies the high quality of the academic programmes offered and the success of the collaboration between the two distinguished educational institutions.
