SIM University (UniSIM) was a private university in Singapore that opened in 2005 before shutting down in 2017. The university was established and managed under the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) Group. It was the only private university in Singapore after Nanyang University. The university practiced an open-door academic policy towards working adults[2] and offered only part-time programmes. Between 2010 and 2017, UniSIM was registered under the Committee for Private Education (CPE).[3]
In 2016, UniSIM became the sixth autonomous university in Singapore after an invitation from Singapore's Ministry of Education (MOE). The university was restructured into an autonomous university, Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) in 2017.[4]
