SINGAPORE

Singapore, small though it may be, is a vibrant, multicultural city-state that offers the best of both the East and the West to international students.

• International Opportunities
  Since universities in Singapore have collaborations with leading institutions across the world, you could even spend a semester or two as an exchange student at a partner university.

  Singapore’s regional positioning means that it serves as a gateway to countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines.

• High Living Standards
  Singapore came in 12th in the QS Best Student Cities ranking.

  Singapore offers a high quality of life, along with a vibrant culture and excellent infrastructure.

Singapore’s education system is highly regarded and has been described as world-leading by many.

Bachelor programs take 3 to 4 years to complete, while a masters program can last 1 to 3 years. Doctoral studies last 2 to 5 years.

If you’ve done brilliantly in academics and have excelled in extracurricular activities, you could be eligible for a scholarship. Scholarship deadlines vary amongst institutions.

If Singapore is your chosen academic destination, it’s best to start applying a good 8 to 12 months prior to the intake.
