Academic support from local partners
1. Guidance on Applied Assignments
The MasterEdu from SIMI is an accredited program with exceptionally stringent standards. To help students understand these standards and develop their approach to assignments, local tutors (if applicable) will provide support in this process.
Please note that tutors are there to assist, but students are responsible for completing their own work and are accountable for their results.
2. English support for non-native speakers
All MasterEdu programs are delivered in English, and SIMI recognizes that language is not the key determinant of success in an educational program—it’s simply a medium for instructors to share knowledge.
To help students confidently navigate any challenges with English, particularly the specialized language of MasterEdu courses, the local academic support team provides assistance through various activities.
Key lectures from SIMI instructors are translated into the local language with the help of local partners. Additionally, each course features a learning assistant who supports students throughout the program, serving as a bridge between students and instructors to ensure seamless communication and to break down language barriers.
3. Support for APA/Harvard formatting and writing style
At the Master's level, and particularly in the MasterEdu program, students are required to write their assignments following international standards like APA or Harvard. For some students, this can be a significant initial challenge.
Understanding this, SIMI Swiss has developed detailed guidelines, and with the support of local partners, students receive in-depth guidance and formatting assistance before submitting their assignments to SIMI Swiss.
Check it out HERE.
4. Capstone Project supervisors
The Capstone Project is the most critical assignment, as it not only evaluates the comprehensive knowledge students have gained across all courses but also tests their ability to apply this knowledge in real-world scenarios.
To facilitate a smooth Capstone Project process, SIMI Swiss has created detailed guidelines and works closely with local partners to offer support.
Based on the country and region, students may be assigned a supervising lecturer to guide them throughout the Capstone Project implementation.
