Aventis Graduate School

What Aventis Graduate School does

Aventis Graduate School is a Singapore-based for-profit private education institution founded in 2007 that delivers part-time and full-time postgraduate degrees, graduate diplomas, and short professional courses to working adults. Its program portfolio spans MBA, MSc, MA, M.Tech, and graduate diplomas across business, social sciences, health services, and frontier technology disciplines (including AI, data science, and cyber security). Core degree programs are delivered in long-standing partnership with three UK universities — the University of Roehampton, the University of West London, and the University of Chichester — providing academic awarding and international accreditation underpinning the school's offerings.

The school's delivery platform is built on Moodle-based learning management combined with Zoom live-streamed lectures, supported by AI-augmented student guides and a small on-campus footprint (three classrooms, 102-seat capacity). A parallel short-course arm is accredited under Singapore's SkillsFuture Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) framework, including recently launched GenAI and AI-for-marketers courses developed with partners such as AI Singapore, SGInnovate, and EC-Council. Curriculum is further endorsed by industry bodies including AACSB, EMBA Council, SHRM, CILT, IHRP, and SAC, and the school is recognized as Singapore's #1 largest part-time MBA provider (2023).

Revenue is generated through tuition fees for degree and diploma programs, application fees (S$218), and government-subsidized WSQ short-course fees, with the customer base spanning mid-career professionals, career changers, young professionals, international students (from 38+ countries), and corporate partners. To date the school reports more than 80,000 lifetime learners and over 2,800 manager and executive graduates, with cumulative international student recruitment supported by an external agent network. EduTrust Certification has been renewed through 2026-2030, securing continued eligibility to enroll international students and access Singapore government skills funding.
