Why are International Students Choosing Singapore to Study Abroad?

You are here: Home / News / Why are International Students Choosing Singapore to Study Abroad?

August 28, 2019 //  by Amit Kumar

Studying abroad is one of the trends these days, not only because it is fun and opens students to new avenues and cultures, but also because the whole university and student experience are rich in some overseas countries. One of the most preferred places for studying abroad in Singapore or also known as ‘The Lion City’. There are many reasons as to why students now prefer to study in Singapore. This article will explore some of these reasons.

Standard of Education

The most important thing to consider while going abroad to study is the standards of the universities that are available in the country. Singapore houses some of the top-rated universities in the world for higher education.

One of the most important things to note is that these universities in Singapore have direct connections to some of the other top universities in the western part of the world. Not only does this ensure that the standard of education is top-notch, but this will also help the student when it comes to job offers and placements during the final years of studying in Singapore.

Education is Affordable

The second most important thing for a student is the cost of education. There are universities where the students pay a lot of money towards tuition fees in the west. But Singapore is more of an affordable hub for students with the same quality of education that is offered by the colleges in the west.

One of the most important things that students get in Singapore is the gift of subsidized education. Students have the option of serving the Singapore government as an under-graduation student or as a postgraduate student for three years.

Lesser Cost of Living

The cost of living in Singapore is very less when compared to many other countries with good universities.  Most universities have in-campus hostels that have all the required facilities for students, including gyms, food parks, libraries and so on. These come at affordable packages and dorm rooms that students can occupy on a sharing basis to reduce the cost.

If students do not like the idea of living on campus, there are a lot of private hostels and private flats that they can stay in. If a student is staying at a university hostel, the cost per month would be about six hundred to seven hundred US dollars.

Part-time Jobs

Another advantage that international students in Singapore have is the presence of part-time jobs. The Government of Singapore allows students who have a student visa to work for 16 hours per week during the term of their course at the university.

These work hour restrictions are completely lifted during the vacation time and the student can work unlimited hours. The restrictions in time allow the student to work as well as study in a proper manner and not let the two become a huge burden.

This facility is available in most of the universities in Singapore and allows the students to earn pocket money to support their expenses and also learn valuable experience in work ethic.
