This is in line with the nation's emphasis on stackable credentials to facilitate lifelong learning.
The Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Facilities Management (GCHFM) will ride on the recent increase in healthcare demand and the Government's interest to continue investing in healthcare due to population ageing and growth. Recognising the critical role of facilities management (FM) in enabling healthcare operations and administration, the GCHFM programme addresses the growing need for professionals with the technical knowledge and management skills required to operate high-performance healthcare facilities in today's complex environments. Launched in collaboration with SingHealth, the programme will be the first in Singapore to equip graduates with theoretical knowledge and hands-on training in healthcare FM. Upon completion of GCHFM, students can pursue the Graduate Diploma in Facilities Management (GDFMT) followed by the Master of Built Environment (MBE) to prepare graduates for senior roles in Healthcare Facilities Management.
Each course is 5 credit units (cu) and can be taken on a stand-alone basis. Upon successful completion of 15 cu of coursework with a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.5, the GCHFM will be awarded.
