Popular more as a paradise for tourists, Singapore is increasingly becoming a most sought after destination among Indian students today. It is estimated that Indians account for nearly half the number of foreign students pursuing higher studies in the island nation.
Courses and universities available
The fields they usually go for in Singapore are electronics, chemical biomedical, engineering, info-communications technology, research and development, financial services, education, healthcare, arts and entertainment, communications and media logistics.
Singapore aims to offer a diverse and distinctive mix of educational services by developing quality local institutions and attracting more leading international universities to set up shop in Singapore.
Many international students are attracted to the quality undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered by Singapore's local universities: National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University, as well as the postgraduate courses offered by the 10 leading international universities based in Singapore.
These leading international universities include top European MBA school, INSEAD; top US universities such as the University of Chicago, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Johns Hopkins University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Stanford and Wharton School of Business; the Shanghai Jiao Tong University; as well as leading European universities: the Technical University of Eindhoven and the Technical University of Munich.
To help more Indian students and other international students decide on Singapore as their choice location for education, Singapore is actively marketing its educational opportunities and providing international students with comprehensive information about studying in Singapore. Singapore offers students from India a safe, comfortable and cosmopolitan learning environment with varied education opportunities at all levels.
