About going to Singapore SIM to study for graduate school

It has been nearly 7 years since I went to Singapore to study in middle school, work, live and get married, and then left Singapore to go to other countries. I am neither a study abroad agent nor an angry youth, so I will give you some advice as a person who has experienced it.

SIM is the best private school in Singapore, but if you go to study only for a master's degree, finding a job depends on your personal ability and luck (it is difficult to find a counterpart or a good job based on academic qualifications) , it is simply impossible to apply for a green card right after graduation. A bachelor's degree is more recognized abroad, because it is professional knowledge that you spent 4 years learning, and it can better reflect your knowledge level than a 2-year master's degree. The coursework courses of general foreign universities (including SIM) are very low-quality, and undergraduate students who are not majoring in the major can also take it. The curriculum consists of several basic courses in the undergraduate course plus several courses that are extended from the scope of the undergraduate course. In terms of scope, Continuing rather than going in depth. A master's degree is not as valuable as a bachelor's degree in the same major. So if you just go out to get a master's degree and want to make a career in the world with this diploma, you will be at a disadvantage. I don't know if you understand what I mean.

SIM’s academic qualifications are recognized by any country except China. China itself does not recognize diplomas from third countries studied in second countries, so even if the Chinese Ministry of Education has the name of your school (such as SIM University of London) but your qualifications will not be recognized. It is basically impossible to study for a Ph.D., because foreign master's programs are divided into two categories: coursework and research, and the latter's majors and curriculum are linked to those of a Ph.D. As far as I know, SIM does not have a research master.

I think your Ph.D. situation is a bit serious. There are two types of people studying for Ph.D. abroad. Type 1 people are non-human beings who are really suitable for research and have almost lost their basic communication skills. The other type of people are those who can’t find a job and don’t want to go back to their country, so they stay in school to study for a Ph.D. (especially common in European countries, where the threshold for Ph.D. studies is low and the government provides a “salary”). For foreigners, they usually start working right after graduating from a bachelor’s degree.

Don’t go to private schools in Singapore other than SIM. After you come out, it’s nothing more than going to a bank to sell a bank card and handing out flyers at the subway station. In fact, I don’t recommend you to study SIM if you only want to study for a master’s degree.

Your undergraduate school is not very bad. I suggest you take the GMAT and try to apply to a Singapore government university. G 60, IELTS 6.5, and a sufficient personal statement should be promising. Or consider going to the United States or Australia. Singapore is not that good, but government universities take the lead. If your family's finances are limited, consider France. It is better than if you study SIM in Singapore and develop.
