SINGAPORE UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS

Why pursue a university education in Singapore?

Firstly, Singaporean universities consistently rank among the top in the world, offering world-class education and cutting-edge research opportunities across various disciplines. Singapore's strategic location as a global hub provides students with unparalleled access to diverse cultures, industries, and career prospects, enriching their academic experience and fostering international networking opportunities.

Additionally, Singapore boasts a safe and vibrant multicultural environment, making it an ideal destination for students seeking a dynamic and inclusive learning environment. Many Singaporean universities offer a wide range of scholarships and financial aid options to support international students in their academic pursuits.

What your application journey could look like:

1 Conduct preliminary research

The first step in your application procedure is to learn more about your university and major of choice. This could be through the university's official website, open house, or by contacting current and past students. It is recommended to proceed with your application when you have a clear understanding of your academic goals and have decided on the university you wish to attend.

2 Prepare the necessary documents

It is crucial to carefully prepare the necessary documents beforehand. These include personal contact details, academic transcripts, and certificates showcasing extracurricular achievements. Additionally, as English is the main working language in Singapore, non-native English speakers should take the TOEFL/IELTS test as it is typically required by universities for English proficiency assessment.

3 Submit your online application(s)

After thorough research and preparation, proceed to your preferred university(ies) website(s) to submit your application(s). Navigate to the designated admissions portal following the provided instructions meticulously – make sure that all required fields are accurately filled. As some universities may also request additional documents, it is important to review their guidelines carefully to avoid any delays.

What's next?

Interview Invitation

If your application successfully passes through the initial screening process, you may be further invited to an admissions interview. Universities such as the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore Management University (SMU) may request interviews from international applicants. Preparation is vital as interview formats and questions may vary.

Admissions Test

Similar to interviews, you might also receive invitations to complete standardised admissions tests. These tests are used to differentiate your application against other international candidates considering the intense competition in securing a spot in a local university. As such, it is important to have proper guidance in preparing for these assessments to optimise your chances.
