Singapore is rapidly emerging as a global educational powerhouse, driven by
strong government initiatives that emphasize the importance of education. The
country’s commitment to excellence in education has helped it establish itself
as a force to be reckoned with on the global stage.
In 2013, Singapore was ranked among the top three "Best Student Cities"
in the
world by QS, and it continues to be a top choice for international students
seeking quality education.
Thanks to its reputation for educational excellence, graduates from
Singaporean universities are highly sought after by employers across Asia and
around the globe.
Beyond academics, Singapore is a vibrant city that never sleeps. From
its
diverse culinary offerings and world-class shopping to its famous attractions
like the Singapore Zoo, there's always something to explore. Whether
you’re
enjoying local dishes or experiencing the city’s nightlife, boredom is never an
option in Singapore.
Though Singapore may seem distant, international students quickly adapt to
life here, as the city has four official languages, with English
being
the
primary language of instruction in education.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is consistently ranked as the
top
university in Asia and was placed 11th globally in the QS
World University
Rankings 2021.
As a multi-cultural society, Singapore fosters an environment where
people of
all races, religions, and cultures live and work together harmoniously, making
it a welcoming place for students from around the world.
Safety is a key feature of life in Singapore. The Economist Intelligence Unit
(EIU) ranked Singapore as the second safest city in the world in
its 2019 Safe
City Index.
In the QS Best Student Cities 2021 rankings, Singapore is ranked
17th
globally, further cementing its status as one of the best destinations for
