Kaplan (Singapore)’s New City Campus at Odeon 333: Empowering Students for Success in the Future Economy
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 January 2025 - Kaplan (Singapore) officially launched its new Odeon 333 City Campus1 on 17 January 2025, another dynamic hub for delivering Murdoch University and Kaplan programmes and fostering a vibrant environment for student activities.
This landmark occasion also celebrates the longstanding partnership between Murdoch University and Kaplan, recently renewed for another 15 years in 2024.
The launch comes at a milestone year, with Singapore and Australia celebrating 60 years of diplomatic relations in 2025, a moment that underscores the important role of education in strengthening connections between the two nations. This year also marks Murdoch University's 50th anniversary and 25 years of delivering quality education to students in Singapore, making the new campus opening a fitting reflection of Kaplan and Murdoch's shared commitment to advancing education and collaboration.
Professor Andrew Deeks, Vice-Chancellor and President of Murdoch University shared, "Over the past five decades, Murdoch has grown from a single campus in Perth to a university with a global presence. We began with a culture of critical thinking, of nurturing a community of scholars who are dedicated to making a positive impact – and with a commitment to academic excellence – and this has not changed today. As we embark on this new chapter, we reaffirm our commitment to international partnerships, and we look forward to building a brighter future in Singapore for a long time to come."
The new campus inauguration was graced by distinguished guests, His Excellency Allaster Cox, Australian High Commissioner to Singapore, and Ms Denise Phua, Mayor of Central Singapore District, who officiated the event with a symbolic LED ball lighting ceremony. Guests were also treated to a campus tour, featuring immersive VR demonstrations that brought cutting-edge technology to life, along with a livestream connection to Murdoch's Perth campus, showcasing the exciting potential for lessons to transcend physical boundaries.
Commenting on the launch, Dr Susie Khoo, President of Kaplan (Singapore) remarked, "This campus represents more than a new space right in the heart of the city; it embodies our commitment to investing in education, offering students diverse pathways to success and supporting them in achieving their learning goals. Located in Odeon 333, a BCA Green Mark Platinum-certified2 building, it also reflects our dedication to sustainability and building a better future."
