A new career in banking

Banking industries has been with us since the dawn of trading. Over time, banking industries have developed in line with the needs of the business environment.

Within the industry of banking, Malaysia is one of the countries which is aggressively implementing Islamic Banking and Finance, currently ranking 5th globally in the Islamic Finance sector after United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.

This rise of Islamic Banking Institutions in Malaysia has resulted in widened career scopes in banking industries.

While a career focussing in this areas is not new, the lack of professionals who are qualified in Islamic Banking and Finance makes graduates with qualifications specific to this field in demand.

Islamic Banking is also one area in the Government’s Key National Economic Area (NKEA) under the 10th Malaysia Plan’s Entry Pont Project (EPP) whereby they aim to provide the benchmark for minimum standards in Islamic Banking and Finance education.

SPM students who have a minimum of 3 credits and would like to pursue a career in the Islamic Banking industry can apply for SEGi College Sarawak’s Diploma in Islamic Banking (DIIB).

“Graduates with Islamic Banking qualification have a wider career perspective in both Islamic banking and conventional banking compared to graduates who only possess a conventional banking qualification,” said Madam Elina Tiu, the Principal of SCSwk.

The DIIB programme is recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and Malaysia Qualification Agency (MQA).

SCSwk is currently having their Open Day on 30th and 31st March 2013 with promotions including RM500 Open Day registration and ‘A’ rebates for those who have A’s in their SPM results.

SEGians Object Animal Abuse

Group photo of all volunteers and SSPCA staffs.

8 December 2012, KUCHING: SEGians celebrated a “Care For Animal” Day when they visited the Sarawak Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal (SSPCA). SEGi College Sarawak Tourism Club (SCSTC) showed their support by organizing a charity event at Sarawak Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal (SSPCA). They visited the Centre to care for the dogs and cats and helped the staff to clean the animal shelters.

SEGians are against animal cruelty and believe that animals should be treated with love and respect.

“Through the speech given by the General Manager, I came to realize that many people are irresponsible and lack love for animals. They would leave their pets there when they go on vacation. Some pets were brought into the animal shelter by the pet owner’s neighbour as the pets were not well taken care of. It is nice to know that there are kind volunteers that still visit and help at the centre every week. I admire these good Samaritans and hope to do the same,” said Maybelline Chew, student from Diploma in Tourism Management, Faculty of Hospitality (FOH).

“Being a volunteer will help the students increase their awareness of their surroundings and understand the needs of those around them. Unlike people, animals cannot speak for themselves and count on others to love and care for them. As Hospitality and Tourism students, this activity helps our students to care for others and learn to give good service to different groups of the society,” said Madam Elina Tiu, Principal of SEGi College Sarawak.

The Faculty of Hospitality (FOH) offers programmes such as the Bachelor of Science (Hons) International Tourism and Hospitality, Diploma in Hotel Management and Diploma in Tourism Management, as well as some new programs such as the diplomas in Culinary Arts and Baking & Pastry Art.

The programmes offered under the FOH are recognised by Malaysia’s Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA).

SEGi College Sarawak provides financial assistance in terms of study loans and scholarships for students with excellent results in SPM or STPM.
