Business, Communication and Design

The Business, Communication and Design cluster offers six degree programmes which include Accountancy, Air Transport Management, Digital Communications and Integrated Media, Hospitality Business AND two Food Business Management degree programmes from our overseas university partner -- Culinary Institute of America. 

The Business, Communication, and Design Cluster at SIT is dedicated to preparing students with competencies and skills tailored for today's industry, fostering agility to navigate changes in tomorrow's industry. Students are equipped with transdisciplinary knowledge, enabling them to navigate across different sectors. Each programme’s Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) is formed by esteemed business leaders in the field of expertise who meet regularly with each programme’s faculties to ensure the curriculum is updated and essential to the industry. With the rapid development of technologies, students are required to have a foundation in digital skills. Moreover, sustainability is an imperative topic, requiring students to understand its impact, explore potential solutions, and implement green practices.

Entrepreneurial knowledge empowers students to explore new horizons and navigate each step of the exploration process. Beyond the solid foundation gained in their respective areas of study, students collaborate with peers from other clusters, engaging in projects related to design and social context. The learning environment encourages experimentation and learning from mistakes while interacting with academics, industry professionals, and peers.

Our Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) in the second and third years of study exposes students directly to the industry, allowing them to apply their foundational knowledge in their respective specialisations. Before completing their studies, students undertake a Capstone project, linking theoretical knowledge with practical application to address industry challenges guided by our faculties.

Our academic staff, possessing substantial industry experience, are committed to facilitating students' connections with the industry. Beyond traditional classroom teaching, our approach blends real case projects, competitions, industry partner talks, simulations, and field trips.

The BCD cluster enthusiastically welcomes all students who are curious, open to challenges, possess a team-oriented spirit, and demonstrate perseverance to join our dynamic environment and be a SITizen.
