新加坡物流管理学院经新加坡移民厅特别批准，开办物流管理研究生课程，这是新加坡政府批准的第一个由专业团体所举办的可以招收海外留学生的全日制研究生课程。该学院已获中国大使馆资格认证，可正式招收中国留学生。
选择SIMM的理由：
第一：广阔就业前景的。整合后的大物流管理对入世后的中国尚属全新行业，据有关资料显示，中国各地政府、企业都在积极投入建设各种规模的物流园及相关的硬件 设施，但由于大物流管理在当今中国是全新的概念，国内各大专院校没有相应的课程及文凭，社会所急需的物流管理人才青黄不接，供不应求。因此毕业于物流管理 专业的学生将有很好的就业前景。
第二：课程及文凭设置前沿、实用，学制短，费用低。大专、本科均为一年，学生毕业后可迅速就业并成为市场急需的紧俏人才。
