The Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS), founded in 1956, is SingaporeÍs oldest not-for-profit professional institute for lifelong learning. MDIS has two main subsidiaries: Management Development Institute of Singapore Pte Ltd (MDIS Pte Ltd) to oversee its Singapore academic operations, and MDIS International Pte Ltd to further its globalisation strategy. MDIS offers well-accredited courses in Business and Management, Engineering, Fashion Design, Information Technology, Health and Life Sciences, Mass Communications, Psychology and Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Management. Designed to provide individuals with opportunities to develop professionally, these programmes are offered in collaboration with highly acclaimed universities in Australia, France, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The success of MDISÍ graduates is due to the instituteÍs strong commitment to high quality standards of education. The achievement of the EduTrust Certification (4 years) _ which was awarded by the Council for Private Education in 2010 and subsequently renewed for another 4 years in 2014 _ is a milestone for MDIS as it attests to the instituteÍs exemplary education and business excellence standards. MDIS is also amongst the first batch of Private Education Institutions (PEIs) to be registered under the Enhanced Registration Framework.
