The best thing about studying in Singapore is it’s low course fee. It’s proximity to India reduces the expenses as compared to some popular destinations like USA, UK, Canada or Australia. Since public transport in Singapore is a bit costly, you can balance it out with the course fees.

Singapore has strict anti-litter policies, which make it clean and green and earned the nickname of “fine city”. In fact, despite being an urbanized state, Singapore has earned status of the “greenest city”. The crime rates are low which makes its streets safe, even late in the night.

India and Asian faces are quite visible here so you’ll not feel alienated in the country. Singapore is a multicultural society with four major ethnic group-Indians, Chinese, Malaysians, and other smaller minority Aisan groups. The principal religions in Singapore are Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism and Christianity.

If you are planning to study in Singapore and worried about language barrier then you there’s no need to worry because English is widely spoken here and majority of the people can understand English. However, the official language of Singapore is Malay, there are 4 official languages (thanks to the different ethnic groups) – Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and English. So you won’t find any difficulty in communicating with the locals. Singapore is gaining popularity

Singapore has 34 universities, among them 4 are national. The National University of Singapore (NUS) is currently ranked 11th in the QS World Rankings. Babying Technological University is another popular university which has ranked behind NUS in QS World Rankings. The university is highly regarded for the engineering courses.Singapore is also home to a recently established selected collaborative institutes. Singapore’s growing popularity as an education hub has attracted a lot of foreign universities who showed interest in setting up their campuses here. Some examples like- S.P. Jain School of Global Management, Queen Margaret University, ESSEC Business School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Zhejiang University China are few universities who have set up their campuses in the country. Even if you are facing the fees expensive, there are plenty of scholarship opportunities to help you manage your pockets. Singapore government has introduced a scheme for international students called “Tuition Grant Scheme” to make the tuition cost affordable. If you are an international student studying full-time in Singapore, the government could reduce your course fee if you sign an agreement that you commit to work here for at least 3 years after completion of your course. Sounds interesting, isn’t it?!
