The benefits of Studying in Singapore
- Many universities offer Scholarships
There are a large number of scholarships offered by the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University or the Singapore Management University. Students will have a chance to earn an opportunity at them if their grades are good.
- International Exposure and Haven for English Language learning
Singapore places high emphasis and focus on the use of English which has become a boon for students from India, and has guaranteed their admission into Singapore’s universities. It also helps other international students improve and practice their English language skills. At the same time diversity associated with students who represent different nationalities is a guarantee for international exposure and global outlook. As of now, there are nearly 70,000 foreign students studying in Singapore.
- High Employability
Students have permission to work for 16 hours a week while pursuing their studies, to support themselves economically. Singapore is the Asia-Pac regional headquarters for most global organisations and is therefore a hub of major economic activity. There are 26,000 international companies in Singapore where students can look forward to excellent professional networking as well as job opportunities in one of the best business environments in Asia.

- Excellent yet affordable high living standards
Singapore has a lower cost of living compared to Europe, America and Australia. Also offers a reasonable fee structure and scholarship programs.

Students desiring to come to Singapore to study need only to come to Singapore to apply for a Student Pass, without the need to travel to the Singapore Embassy for an interview. This simplified process also has a higher approval rate as compared to Europe and America.
