Singapore has a beautiful environment and developed economy. It is one of the safest countries in the world, and the cost of studying abroad is relatively low. In recent years, it has been more and more favored by students in China.
As we all know, public universities in Singapore are famous for their high-quality teaching. However, the number of public universities in Singapore is small, the enrollment quota is limited, and the entrance threshold is high. Even for local students in Singapore, it is not easy to enter public universities, especially for international students.
For international students, more choices are private universities in Singapore. Because the poor teaching quality of domestic private universities has been criticized, many students and parents reject private universities as soon as they hear about them. In fact, private universities in Singapore occupy an important position in Singapore's higher education system. What about private universities in Singapore? We can look at it from the following aspects:
First, strict certification system.
20 10 Singapore Private Education Commission (CPE) launched the Education Trust Certification Scheme (Edutrust) to strictly manage private universities.
Edutrust evaluates the academic and financial processes, administrative management and quality management of private educational institutions, as well as the protection and benefits provided by schools to students, including tuition guarantee plan, recruitment agency management and student support services.
To be accredited, a private educational institution must prove that it has reached at least the minimum level in these fields. Under the control of this system, the level of private universities is very high, and the teaching teachers are all high-quality, which ensures the teaching quality.
Second, studying abroad is cost-effective.
For many students from working families, the cost of studying abroad is a topic of concern, but now studying abroad is no longer the patent of the "rich second generation". With a total annual expenditure of around100000, Singapore has gradually entered the field of vision of studying abroad.
Especially compared with European and American countries, the fees of private schools in Singapore are much lower. The annual tuition and living expenses of undergraduates are about10-120,000 RMB. Graduate students in private schools generally spend one year, and the tuition fee is almost RMB 654.38+million, plus the living expenses, which is about RMB 1.5 million.
Third, it is employment-oriented and has a high employment rate.
Private universities in Singapore have the characteristics of "employment determines majors", in other words, developing courses according to the number of future employees and the demand of the labor market.
For example, hotel management, financial accounting and so on, which are very popular in Singapore. Therefore, the new employment rate of graduates from private universities is very good.
In addition, private universities will provide employment guidance for students before they enter the job market.
Fourth, a high-quality diploma.
Many private universities in Singapore have cooperated with other famous foreign universities, such as Newcastle University, Dublin College of the National University of Ireland, James Cook University, Curtin University, Royal holloway College of University of London and other internationally renowned universities.
This means that you studied in Singapore and finally got the same diploma as your classmates at Newcastle University.
Students only need to spend 65,438+0/3 to 65,438+0/2 of the tuition fees of universities in third countries to obtain formal diplomas issued by these universities in Singapore, many of which are equivalent to some majors in public universities, but not worse in other aspects.
