Generally speaking, private colleges in Singapore are divided into secondary schools, training schools, degree education institutions and specialized vocational schools. Degree education institutions (private universities) with the largest number of choices for students in China. After completing the three-year (two-year master's degree) professional courses, students can obtain bachelor's and master's degrees awarded by the Anglo-American-Australian cooperative university, and students can also go to the cooperative university to study in the last year.
