Singapore

World-class in education, internationally acclaimed universities and affordable education costs - no wonder Singapore is fastemerging as a preferred global education hub. Some of Singapores leading universities include Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore Management University (SMU).

Many universities offer industry-oriented programmes as well. Some of the renowned polytechnics in Singapore are Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic and Singapore Polytechnic. The island nation also offers technical studies in business, electronics, media and applied sciences.

education in Singapore may not be very cost-effective (it is listed as one of the most expensive student destinations in Asia), however, it is a lot more cost-efficient in comparison to more expensive destinations such as the UK, the USA and Australia. The average annual tuition fees in Singapore can work out to USD 11,800 per annum. After completion of the degree, international students can apply for a Long-Term Visit Pass which enables them to stay in Singapore for another year even if they dont get a job immediately after passing out. Students who do secure a job within this span of time are issued a Work Pass which allows them to work in Singapore.
