Singapore is now among the most sought-after study abroad countries \u2013 students from across the globe have started recognizing it as a viable study abroad destination as Asia begins its growth as the next international education hub<\/a>. Apart from just education, It also offers students and residents top-notch facilities and a lifestyle that is considered among the best in the world.<\/p>\n

What Makes Singapore a Top Study Abroad Country?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 1. The Best Education System in The World<\/strong>The education system of Singapore has been ranked as the best in the world by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Singapore\u2019s National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) are Asia\u2019s topmost universities according to QS World University Rankings 2019. The technology, engineering and natural sciences courses in Singapore are highly rated and attract students from across the globe.<\/li>\n
  2. 2. Affordability<\/strong>Singapore is among the most affordable top study abroad destinations available to international students. This boils down to a lot of factors such as scholarship availability, and more prominently, their Tuition Grant Scheme (TGS) whereby the Singapore government aims to make the cost of tuition affordable to international students. Under TGS, you are required to sign an agreement that you commit to stay and work in Singapore 3 years after your graduation, in return for subsidized course fees.<\/li>\n
  3. 3. Absence of a Language Barrier<\/strong>One of the major factors that have helped Singapore grow into the Asian education hub is that it accepts English as one of the official languages; over 75% of the population can speak English. This eliminates the need to learn a completely new language for international students, eliminating one hurdle. What\u2019s more, the language of classroom instruction is also English, eliminating the limitation on the course chosen by the language of instruction.<\/li>\n
  4. 4. Excellent Living Standards<\/strong>Living in Singapore, albeit sometimes slightly on the expensive side delivers exactly what you pay for. It is among the greenest cities in Asia, is clean (thanks to strict anti-litter policies), and is evolving into a true city of the future.<\/li>\n
  5. 5. Global Hub<\/strong>Singapore is a truly global hub, owing to a diverse, multicultural population. It boasts of a global population with people from all around the globe of different races, ethnicities, religions, and languages come to study, work, and live here. This not only allows a healthy degree of perspective in the education that is delivered but also ensures that you do not feel alienated.<\/li>\n
  6. 6. Great Return on Investment<\/strong>A degree from a university in Singapore offers students great scope for return on their investments, because of the affordability of education and the fact that graduates here are sought after by companies. Not to mention the fact that Singapore is a global business hub as well, leading to several opportunities within the country after their degrees. The National University of Singapore is among the world\u2019s top 30 in QS\u2019 Graduate Employability Rankings.<\/li>\n
  7. 7. Singapore is Among the Best Student Cities in The World<\/strong>QS\u2019 Best Student Cities Rankings have consistently placed Singapore near the top of the ladder due to many factors as are mentioned above. Affordable education, followed by a great lifestyle, multiculturality, low crime rates, and much more makes it one of the best student cities in the world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
