S P Jain School of Global Management (S P Jain Global) — a business school ranked 12 by Forbes with campuses in Mumbai, Dubai, Singapore and Sydney — announced that over 80% students of its BBA Class of 2021 who stayed back in Australia have secured jobs there upon completing their course.
The batch of 197 students is off to a great start, with students also receiving offers from the US, Dubai, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and Colombia.
The top recruiters include global companies such as Walsh Bay Partners, Frost & Sullivan, ING Australia, bdhSterling, Adzuna, OMD Australia, Metcash, Bayton Group, Star Beta and BSI.
The finance, media and marketing sectors accounted for 94% of overall offers, followed by the general management and consulting sectors. The Class of 2021 reported average starting salaries ranging from AUD 50,000 to AUD 60,000 per annum.
Vaidyanathan Jayaraman, dean of Undergraduate Programmes at S P Jain, attributes this success to the school’s unique multi-city model. “Our students have a distinct advantage when it comes to competing for global jobs. Having lived, studied and interned in not one but a minimum of three cities — Singapore (or Mumbai), Dubai and Sydney — they graduate as globally intelligent citizens and have the sort of skills that make them very relevant and attractive to leading companies in Australia and around the world,” he said.
“It comes as no surprise to us that most students have chosen to start their careers in Australia. On completing the programme, S P Jain students can apply for a two-year unrestricted Post Study Work Rights Visa and many of them, after discovering what a great place Australia is, take up this opportunity,” Jayaraman added.
S P Jain Global launched its BBA programme in 2010, becoming one of the first business schools in the world to offer a multi-city undergraduate programme. “Study abroad programmes have been around for many years now, but the concept of a multi-city bachelor’s programme was practically unheard of back then when we launched the BBA. We have since graduated over 750 students who have gone on to do very well in their global careers, and that is why today, companies believe in our model,” said SP Jain Global president Nitish Jain.
SP Jain Global’s BBA is a 4-year multi-city programme accredited by Australia’s Tertiary Education Quality & Standards Agency (TEQSA). Students travel to Singapore/Mumbai for Year 1 of the course, Dubai for Year 2, and Sydney for Years 3 and 4, graduating with an Australian degree. The latest graduating class includes students from countries like the US, Austria, Brazil, India, China, Morocco, Mauritius and Korea.
