For over six decades, PSB Academy has been a cornerstone of Singapore's private education landscape. Originally established in 1964 as a small productivity unit under the nation's Economic Development Board and later evolving into the training arm of the Productivity and Standards Board, PSB Academy has a unique government-linked heritage that sets it apart from many of its peers. Today, branded as "Asia's Future Academy," it hosts a vibrant community of over 17,000 students from more than 50 nationalities, and has produced over 200,000 learners across its long history.
PSB Academy operates three city campuses seamlessly integrated into Singapore's commercial heart. The City Campus, located at Marina Square, comprises the Main Wing and the state-of-the-art STEM Wing. The Main Wing spans 9,484 square metres and features 31 classrooms with writable walls, acoustically balanced lecture theatres, professional-grade TV and radio studios, and collaborative hubs like The Townhall and The Hive. The STEM Wing, a S$10 million expansion, houses high-tech engineering labs, life and sports science laboratories, and a dedicated robotics lab, bolstering hands-on STEM education. In April 2025, PSB Academy inaugurated its third campus—the Cathay Campus. Nestled within the iconic heritage building of The Cathay on Orchard Road, this 43,000-square-foot modern learning space primarily serves students enrolled in courses with its long-standing UK university partner, Coventry University.
A hallmark of PSB Academy is its transnational education model. Through partnerships with reputable universities from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, students can earn bachelor's and master's degrees identical to those awarded at the partner's home campus. Key partners include Coventry University (UK), Edinburgh Napier University (UK), the University of Newcastle (Australia), La Trobe University (Australia), and Massey University (New Zealand). PSB Academy offers a comprehensive range of programmes across 18 disciplines through its six schools: Foundation Studies, Business and Management, Engineering and Technology, Life and Physical Sciences, Postgraduate Studies, and the Digital Academy. The curriculum spans from foundation diplomas to postgraduate degrees in fields such as business, engineering, life sciences, cybersecurity, data science, media and communications, and allied health.
Quality assurance is paramount. PSB Academy is among the first few private education institutions in Singapore to be awarded the prestigious 4-year EduTrust Certification, and it has successfully renewed this certification for three consecutive terms. The Academy has also earned multiple accolades, including consecutive SBR National Business Awards in Education and the Silver Ribbon (Singapore) award, reflecting its commitment to institutional excellence.
Graduate employability is a key priority. PSB Academy maintains deep partnerships with over 200 industry-leading companies, including Siemens, DBS, Microsoft, and Huawei. Its Career Services team provides comprehensive support through industry visits, mentorship programmes, career workshops and an annual career fair—guiding students from their first day on campus to well beyond graduation. According to its Graduate Employment Survey, PSB Academy recorded an 84% employment rate within six months of exams in 2023, rising from 78% the previous year. Through its strong heritage, central city campuses, accredited university partnerships, rigorous quality assurance, and unwavering focus on career preparation, PSB Academy delivers an education designed for performance in the new economy.
