How to study in Singapore?

1. All international students who wish to study full-time in Singapore must apply for a student pass and visa (if applicable) from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). Applicants who require a visa to enter the country should ensure that they apply for a student pass from ICA at least two months before the course start date.

2. After arriving in Singapore, the staff will arrange for the applicant to collect the "Student Pass" at the Singapore Immigration Department. This "Student Pass" is a long-term residence permit for multiple entries. With this student pass, applicants can freely enter and leave Singapore while studying in Singapore and do not need another visa.

Extended information:

Singapore provides high scholarships and bursaries of up to 80% for international students enrolled in public schools. In return, international students are required to work in Singapore for a certain period of time after graduation. The international student subsidies received include a full scholarship, a monthly living allowance of S$500, and a monthly housing subsidy of S$280.

In Singapore’s public universities, there are many clubs, whose functions are broader than what Chinese people understand as university societies. Clubs can even provide entrepreneurial funds for students.
