I graduated from 2 1 1 university in China. Can I apply for a master's degree in Singapore?

20 15 Singapore graduate application guide:

Singapore graduate students need more materials to apply, so students who are interested in applying can start preparing early. The earlier you prepare, the more room for manoeuvre, and the better you can see the situation of graduate application in Singapore. I have summarized three points for your attention when applying for a master's degree in Singapore.

First, college grades.

In recent years, the competition for postgraduate applications in public universities in Singapore has become increasingly fierce. Under the principle of merit-based admission, students with excellent academic performance are more likely to be admitted successfully. Therefore, students must improve their test scores as much as possible during their college years. According to experience, most successful applicants graduated from 2 1 1 and 985 universities, with an average score of over 80. In addition, the awards, extracurricular activities, or projects you have done during your college years will add points to your application. However, it should be noted that rewards and extracurricular activities can be "icing on the cake" when applying, but they cannot be "anti-dry". So if the application is unsuccessful because there are too many extracurricular activities, it will not be worth the candle.

Second, the choice of major

The choice of postgraduate application major in Singapore is mainly based on students' academic background. Because it is not necessary to pass the professional examination to apply for a master's degree in a public university in Singapore, it is very important to evaluate the similarity between the applicant's academic background and the applied major. Singapore is a country with sound industry and commerce, so every major offered by universities has employment channels. Therefore, it is not recommended for students to apply for a master's degree across majors unless your comprehensive situation is very convincing. However, due to the economic structure in Singapore, some majors have advantages in employment. For example, tourism hotel management, financial management, logistics management, animation design, mass media and so on.

Third, private colleges and universities.

The postgraduate application of public universities in Singapore is very strict. Students who want to study in Singapore may wish to make two preparations and consider private institutions as an alternative. There are many private institutions in Singapore with different qualifications. When choosing private institutions, you should look for schools certified by EduTrust.

Chapter 1 Matters needing attention in applying for a master's degree in Singapore

For a long time, Singapore has attracted many students to study because of its Asian living environment and English learning atmosphere, and its study and living expenses are not high. Below, Jin Gillette's consultant for studying in Singapore summed up three aspects that should be paid attention to when applying for a master's degree in Singapore.

First, college grades.

In recent years, the competition for postgraduate applications in public universities in Singapore has become increasingly fierce. Under the principle of merit-based admission, students with excellent academic performance are more likely to be admitted successfully. Therefore, students must improve their test scores as much as possible during their college years. According to experience, most successful applicants graduated from 2 1 1 and 985 universities, with an average score of over 80. In addition, the awards, extracurricular activities, or projects you have done during your college years will add points to your application. It should be noted that rewards and extracurricular activities can be "icing on the cake" when applying, but they cannot be "anti-dry". So if you take part in too many extracurricular activities, the application will not succeed.

Second, the choice of major

The choice of postgraduate application major in Singapore is mainly based on students' academic background. Because it is not necessary to pass the professional examination to apply for a master's degree in a public university in Singapore, it is very important to evaluate the similarity between the applicant's academic background and the applied major. Singapore is a country with sound industry and commerce, so every major offered by universities has employment channels.

However, due to the economic structure in Singapore, some majors have advantages in employment. For example, tourism hotel management, financial management, logistics management, animation design, mass media and so on.

Third, private colleges and universities.

The application for graduate students in public universities in Singapore is very strict. Students who want to study in Singapore may wish to be prepared and consider private institutions as an alternative. There are many private colleges and universities in Singapore with different qualifications. When choosing private colleges, we should look for schools with double certification of SQC and EduTrust.

Singapore graduate students need more materials to apply, so students who are interested in applying can start preparing early. In addition, the earlier you prepare, the more room for manoeuvre, and the better you can see the graduate application situation in Singapore. So I suggest you prepare the application materials and start applying as soon as possible.

Chapter II Director of Public Affairs in Singapore

With the start of the school season in September, more and more junior and senior students have recently started to consult public masters in Singapore. When it comes to the application plan, most students' reaction is "it will take at least two or three years to get out, so there is no need to worry so long?" So, for such students, is it too early to make plans now?

According to past experience, the best time to apply for public universities in Singapore is two years in advance. Generally, the application for materials will be submitted one year in advance, so the actual preparation time is only one year. In this year, the first thing is to prepare language scores, especially for students with weak English, so we should take the time to study. So, how to make good use of this time to pave the way for your application?

Academic aspect: for the target major, you can focus on taking relevant courses, or find opportunities to attend, conduct or participate in relevant academic research and competitions to improve your understanding and accumulation of professional fields; Clear goals, study hard to improve GPA, and prepare for language tests (IELTS, TOEFL, GMAT, GRE, etc.) according to professional requirements. ), and have enough time to retake the exam in the case of unsatisfactory results;

Practice: For the target major, you can seek internships in related companies/positions and participate in volunteer activities, student work, community activities, etc. Cultivate the comprehensive ability needed to upgrade the major, and at the same time improve the understanding of the future career direction.

Detailed preparation guidance will be given according to the students' situation, and there will be clear goals and guidance in both study and social practice. After the above careful preparation, I believe that when the applicant submitted his application last semester, he already had excellent academic performance, rich practical experience, relatively perfect basic knowledge structure and cognition of the target major. Therefore, when answering the application questions such as application motivation, how to spend the postgraduate stage and the planning after graduation, it will not be a general statement, but will be based on your personal situation and real feelings.

Chapter 3: Private Studies in Singapore.

The Singaporean government strongly supports education, and its education level and diploma are recognized by the Ministry of Education of China. The total cost of tuition and living expenses is only one year10-150,000 RMB. There are many opportunities for private universities to participate in employment internship guidance. After studying in Singapore for 65,438+0-2 years, you can transfer to the United States, Britain, Australia and other countries for further study. Singapore has the lowest unemployment rate in the world, and many local multinational companies provide many employment opportunities and development space for graduates. The following are the advantages of studying in a private university in Singapore:

"Return visa" for studying abroad: once a student is admitted to the school, there is no need for the student to go to the immigration office for an interview, and the student visa pass rate is 100%.

Short academic system: The general master's degree system in general private universities is 1 year, and most China students can complete their studies within 1- 1.5 years, which is shorter than the three-year study period of domestic master's students.

Low cost: The average monthly living expenses of students in Singapore are between S $550 and S $550 in 800 yuan, and the total expenditure is lower than that of Australia, Britain, New Zealand and the United States, which export education.

Good employment prospects: In recent years, most international students from China have successfully found jobs in Singapore after graduation by attending high-quality private universities in Singapore. After graduation, the average monthly salary is about 2200-2500 Singapore dollars (about 12000 RMB).

Immigrable: Graduate students studying in Singapore can immigrate directly after graduation. The Singapore government is determined to create a good employment environment and attract outstanding overseas talents. Students from major private colleges and universities are regarded as outstanding overseas talents by the Singapore government. If students work in Singapore after graduation, they can apply to become permanent residents of Singapore (green card) as soon as they work, and within 3 months, 100% will be approved, so they can complete immigration. (Generally, foreign workers can apply for permanent residence in Singapore after working in Singapore for 1-2 years, and the approval rate depends on the applicant's own conditions and Singapore's relaxed immigration policy at that time. )

Chapter V Fees for Studying in Singapore

With its low cost, Singapore has attracted many students from working families in China to study abroad, becoming one of the most popular countries for studying abroad. China has also become the largest source of international students. What are the expenses for studying in Singapore? Experts studying abroad summed up the following six points for students:

1, Tuition: The first thing to consider when studying abroad is tuition. The tuition fee for studying in Singapore is generally S $20,000-S $30,000, which is much cheaper than the tuition fee of tens of thousands of dollars a year in famous universities in Europe and America. Students in public schools in Singapore also have the opportunity to apply for grants of up to 80% of tuition fees, and they can complete their studies with only tens of thousands of RMB. Students applying for financial aid need to work in a company registered in Singapore for three years after graduation, and the place of work is not limited to Singapore. Many students sign up for Singaporean companies and then send them to work in China.

2. Accommodation: Accommodation is the biggest expense of studying abroad in Singapore. Private universities in Singapore generally have no boarding or poor accommodation conditions, and government polytechnics and universities provide some accommodation. Most international students choose to rent a house outside Singapore. New international students generally have the following three choices: government apartment or private apartment, luxury bungalow student apartment and international student apartment. The cost is generally 300- 1000 SGD/month, which varies according to the location, accommodation type, facilities, number of people living together, etc.

3. Communication: Singapore's communication is developed, the household telephone penetration rate is 100%, the public telephone system covers all districts, and the telephone charges are low; The international long-distance call charge varies from 0.5 yuan-1 yuan per minute. It's cheaper to call China with an IP calling card, ranging from S $ 0. 18 to S $0.25 per minute. Each message 1 yuan will be cheaper if there is related business promotion. The total monthly expenditure is generally between S $ 30- 100.

4. Transportation: The traffic in Singapore is very fast and there are few traffic jams. The subway is safe and comfortable, punctual and fast, and the price is low. Bus lines are also spread all over the island, which is safe and convenient. There are more than 10000 taxis in Singapore to serve people in need, with 24-hour call service. Students attending public schools can enjoy preferential transportation. The average student transportation fee is about S $80/month.

5. Meal: Singaporean food is a unique blend of Chinese food and malaysian cuisine, and the mixed "Nyonya food" is even more unique. Many food centers in Singapore provide fast food from Chinese, Malay, Indian, Japanese and Thai countries, and schools generally have canteens and restaurants. Generally speaking, students eat about S $300-S $450 a month.

6. Shopping: It is inevitable to go shopping on holidays or Sundays. As a shopping center and tourist paradise in Asia, there are many kinds of commercial buildings in Singapore, so it is essential to buy school supplies, beloved gifts or necessities. Chinatown, Little India, Orchard Road, Shilong Bamboo Knife and Kela Wharf flea market are all good places to go on Sundays. It is also one of the necessary leisure activities for friends to go shopping in the park. The total cost depends on their life plan.

According to calculations and surveys, the average monthly living expenses of overseas students in Singapore are about S $ 750- 1000, so students must arrange their living expenses in a planned way to avoid waste.
