From O Levels to Degrees: SIM Makes Higher Education Accessible
Clear Entry Requirements for Local Students
SIM accepts a wide range of qualifications for its diploma and degree programmes. For undergraduate degrees, applicants typically need GCE ‘A’ Levels, a Polytechnic Diploma, or an IB Diploma. Students who have completed GCE ‘O’ Levels or equivalent but do not meet direct entry requirements can still progress through SIM’s International Foundation Programme (IFP), developed by the University of London, or the Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY), awarded by Monash College, Australia.
International Foundation Programme: A Strategic Pathway to University
The International Foundation Programme (IFP), developed by the University of London, is designed for students who do not meet direct entry requirements for undergraduate degrees. This programme provides a strong academic foundation in subjects such as mathematics, economics, and social sciences, preparing students for progression into SIM’s degree programmes or other international universities. Delivered at SIM, IFP combines rigorous academic training with flexible learning options, ensuring students are ready for success in higher education.
Monash University Foundation Year: A Global Pathway
The Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) is a one-year pre-university programme designed to prepare students for undergraduate study at Monash University. Successful completion guarantees entry into the first year of a Monash University degree, subject to meeting entry requirements and prerequisites. MUFY is also recognised by other leading universities in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, making it an ideal choice for students seeking global opportunities. Delivered at SIM, MUFY offers a blended learning experience combining on-campus classes and online activities, ensuring flexibility and accessibility for students.
Bridging Programmes for Academic Support
SIM understands that academic journeys are not always linear. For students who fall short of direct entry requirements, bridging programmes such as Management Foundation Studies (MFS) and Information Technology Foundation Studies (ITFS) provide an alternative route. These six-month courses cover essential subjects like economics, mathematics, and IT fundamentals, ensuring students are equipped for success in diploma-level studies.
E-Learning: Flexibility for Modern Learners
SIM offers a growing portfolio of online diplomas, enabling students to balance studies with work or personal commitments. Popular programmes include the Diploma in Management Studies (E-Learning) and Diploma in Information Technology (E-Learning), which provide comprehensive training in business and IT fundamentals without the need for on-campus attendance. These programmes deliver the same academic rigor as traditional courses, supported by experienced faculty and interactive digital platforms.
English Language Support
While most local students meet English language requirements through prior education, SIM offers additional support for those who need it. The Certificate in English Language (CEL) programme strengthens listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills, enabling students to transition smoothly into diploma or foundation studies.
From O Levels to Degrees: A Seamless Pathway to Academic Excellence
SIM is more than an education institution, it is a strategic gateway to global opportunities. Through partnerships with leading universities worldwide, SIM offers programmes that integrate academic excellence with industry relevance, equipping students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in a competitive, technology-driven economy, for future employability.
Students benefit from a dynamic campus environment, extensive networking opportunities, and comprehensive career development services designed to prepare them for the future workforce.
Whether beginning with GCE ‘O’ Levels, progressing through foundation programmes such as the International Foundation Programme or Monash University Foundation Year, or advancing to diplomas and internationally recognised degrees, SIM ensures that higher education remains accessible and flexible delivered on campus or online to meet the needs of modern learners.

Vingroup And Kinshasa Strengthen Comprehensive Cooperation in Green Mobility
Under the MoU, Vingroup, Exposure, and the City of Kinshasa, through its relevant authorities, will collaborate to study and promote the procurement and deployment of VinFast’s fully electric vehicles, including electric buses, electric cars, and electric scooters, to meet the transportation needs of the city and its residents. In parallel, the parties will jointly develop a comprehensive electric mobility ecosystem encompassing charging infrastructure and after-sales services.
To support the transition to electric mobility, the cooperation will focus on modernizing and greening Kinshasa’s transportation system across public transport services, mobility solutions for government officials and civil servants, and transportation options for the general public.
Vingroup, through its subsidiary VinFast, will provide detailed commercial and technical proposals for vehicle fleets, including buses, cars, and scooters. Exposure will be responsible for developing a detailed preliminary business plan for vehicle procurement and infrastructure development, as well as initiating the necessary local administrative and legal procedures for importation, distribution, and operations. Meanwhile, the City of Kinshasa will review and propose appropriate incentive mechanisms, covering tax policies, regulatory frameworks, and access to infrastructure, to encourage the development and adoption of green mobility. A designated focal authority will also be appointed to manage and oversee the electric bus fleet.
During the initial phase, expected to run from now through the end of Q1 2026, the parties have agreed on a roadmap to conclude formal contracts to operationalize the above objectives. Under this roadmap, VinFast is expected to supply approximately 500 electric buses and 1,000 electric cars for public fleet operations in Kinshasa. Over the same period, VinFast and Exposure plan to implement supply and distribution agreements to introduce between 10,000 and 20,000 electric cars and between 50,000 and 100,000 VinFast electric scooters to the local market.
In pursuit of a comprehensive green ecosystem, the parties will cooperate in developing an extensive charging station network and an authorized service workshop system, ensuring stable operations and convenience for electric vehicle users.
Specifically, Vingroup reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable development and positive local impact through knowledge transfer and human resource development. These initiatives include training programs for drivers, technicians, and on-site operations personnel, as well as technical design support for electrified transportation infrastructure. Exposure will undertake technical and economic assessments of the charging network and vehicle maintenance and repair facilities. For its part, the City of Kinshasa has committed to supporting land allocation, identifying locations for charging stations, and ensuring reliable power supply solutions, thereby establishing a solid infrastructure foundation for Vingroup’s green mobility ecosystem in the city.
Mr. Jésus-Noël SHEKE WA DOMENE, Provincial Minister of Planning, Budget, Public Service, Employment, Tourism, Transport and Urban Mobility, representative of the City of Kinshasa stated: “The City of Kinshasa highly values our cooperation with Vingroup in advancing green and smart mobility solutions. This is a strategic step aligned with the city’s sustainable urban development vision, aiming to reduce environmental impacts, improve transportation infrastructure, and deliver long-term benefits to our citizens. We believe this partnership will help transform Kinshasa into a dynamic, modern, and livable city in the region.”
Mrs. Phuong NGUYEN, General Director of Vingroup Africa shared: “Vingroup is honored to partner with the City of Kinshasa on the journey toward building a modern, civilized, and sustainable living environment. The deployment of green and smart mobility solutions will not only gradually transform Kinshasa’s urban transportation landscape, but also create long-term, tangible value by improving quality of life for residents and supporting the city in achieving its future sustainable development goals.”
Previously, the Government of Kinshasa and Vingroup also signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore large-scale urban development projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Under the MoU, the two parties will jointly study and develop a large riverside urban project covering approximately 6,300 hectares, strategically located within the capital’s urban expansion plan.
The mega urban development is expected to include residential areas, villas, hospitals, schools, shopping centers, hotels, entertainment complexes, and future government and ministerial offices, positioning it as a new tourism destination and a landmark of Kinshasa’s development. The city is expected to allocate land for the project in accordance with the agreed cooperation framework.
These strategic agreements underscore Vingroup’s international vision and growing global presence, reaffirm its pioneering role in green mobility, and further deepen economic cooperation between Vietnam and the Democratic Republic of Congo, as both countries pursue green growth and sustainable development.
Vingroup is Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate, operating across six core sectors: Industrials & Technology, Real Estate & Services, Infrastructure, Green Energy, Culture and Social Enterprises, guided by the vision of “To Create a Better Life for People”.
With a strong track record, scale, and proven capabilities, Vingroup continues to expand its international footprint. The Group was recognized by TIME magazine (USA) in the “TIME World’s Best Companies 2025” list, ranking among the world’s top 1,000 companies for outstanding contributions to sustainable development, innovation, and global impact.Hashtag: #Vingroup

Security Tokenization Enters Operational Phase: BGEANX Exchange Enables Full Transaction and Settlement Workflow
For a long time, security tokenization has been regarded as an important direction for connecting traditional finance and the crypto industry. The challenge lies not in technological implementation, but in whether it can follow the settlement logic of mature securities markets. Without unified standards, it is often difficult to operate at scale and in compliance.
In this newly launched security tokenization system, BGEANX has integrated with the DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) settlement framework, making the transaction, asset registration, clearing process, and operational mechanism of digital securities complete and closely aligned with the logic of traditional securities markets.
Notably, BGEANX Exchange has simultaneously established a business rule system that matches the attributes of securities. In key areas such as product structure, investor access, information disclosure, and trading restrictions, it has introduced regulatory logic from traditional securities markets, providing clearer boundaries and rules.
On the user experience side, investors can participate in stock and ETF trading and portfolio management within a unified account system. This convenient experience lowers the operational barriers between different asset systems and enhances the ease of asset allocation.
Industry analysts point out that a security tokenization system built according to DTCC settlement logic is easier for traditional financial institutions and professional investors to understand, helping to narrow the institutional gap between digital assets and traditional securities markets.
With the official launch of the security tokenization system of BGEANX Exchange, digital securities have moved from conceptual exploration into practical operation, providing a reference pathway for the continued advancement of security tokenization.

Security Tokenization Moves Toward Practical Adoption, BGEANX Exchange Highlights Compliance Framework
As a future trend in finance, investors are most concerned with the operating rules and settlement mechanisms of security tokenization. Public information shows that BGEANX Exchange has introduced DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) standards, completing the processes of trading, registration, clearing, and settlement—giving security tokens a clear operational order within the platform.
The security tokenization products of BGEANX Exchange offer explicit rules at the regulatory level. Before participating in trading, users can clearly understand asset trading restrictions, settlement methods, and information disclosure requirements. For professional users, the clarity of these rules provides a more stable foundation for trading strategies and risk management arrangements.
Market participants point out that the key to broader market participation in security tokenization is having a sound operational mechanism. When trading, settlement, and rule disclosure form a unified system, security-type digital assets come closer to the form of financial products that can operate sustainably over the long term.
Amid the continuous emergence of RWA products, the security tokenization system of BGEANX Exchange is regarded as one of the most mature product models. From its launch, the system has incorporated compliance requirements, rule disclosures, and risk controls into a unified framework, enabling security-type digital assets to operate stably within a regulated structure. This provides a clear reference for the long-term development of security tokenization in the crypto industry.
