The country’s USP
Singapore is fast emerging as Asia's premier education hub. First its stable economy — it has the reputation of being a top location for investment and the world's busiest port.
Second, its bilingual education policy (English with Malay/Mandarin/ Tamil) is a big draw for Indians. Third, its low crime rate and high living standards and last but not least, the climate is also a big 'yes' factor, for it's never too hot or cold there, with temperatures ranging from 23 to 33 degrees centigrade.
What's more, besides local universities, there are leading international universities like the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, that have set up shop in the island country.
Hot for what?
Its management and culinary programmes. The Bachelors courses are usually of a year's duration.
