What are the advantages of studying in Southeast Asian countries?

In the recent study abroad market, some Southeast Asian countries, mainly Singapore and Malaysia, have become new study abroad hotspots after Australia and New Zealand.

Southeast Asia has become a new hot spot for studying abroad, mainly because of its relatively low cost of studying abroad, internationally recognized academic diplomas, perfect education system and high education standards, which are gradually favored by many China students. Specifically, studying in Southeast Asia has the following advantages.

The cost is relatively low.

Studying abroad is an educational investment, and it also operates according to certain laws of market economy. It can be said that the relatively low cost of studying abroad is the main reason why Chinese people choose Southeast Asian countries in recent years. Take Singapore as an example:

The most expensive polytechnic in Singapore has full tuition 1 1 100 yuan/year (about 50,000 yuan), and the living expenses are generally 3.

About 40,000 yuan, the total cost of a year is less than 654.38+10,000 yuan. Other schools such as language schools and business schools are even cheaper. In Britain, Australia and other countries, tuition fees are generally between 675,000 yuan, and living expenses are also 6.

70,000, adding up to a minimum of 6.5438+0.2 million a year. After three years of undergraduate education, studying in Singapore may save nearly 654.38 million RMB compared with other Commonwealth countries.

The main advantages of "dual courses" in Malaysia's characteristic education model are also reflected here. "Double courses" refers to courses jointly offered by local colleges and foreign universities, so that students can obtain degree certificates from foreign universities at relatively low cost. Take Britain as an example. After finishing a bachelor's degree in Britain, it costs 9000 dollars/year (three years), plus living expenses of 9200 dollars/year. After three years, it will cost $54,600, but after finishing the degree of this British school in Malaysia, the tuition fee will only cost $2,900/year, and the total cost will be $65,438 +0.8 1.500.

The education system is relatively perfect and the education level is relatively high.

Singapore Institute of Technology has courses in engineering, communication, business, biotechnology, etc., which focus on practical application and are closely related to industry. These diploma courses include compulsory internships, and the opportunity to work in a regional and international environment will expose students to the culture and environment of developed countries and broaden their horizons. In addition, two public universities in Singapore, namely the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, internationally renowned research institutions and domestic industrial and commercial circles, maintain close ties. They also provide students with higher education and professional qualification courses in many different fields, focusing on improving their creativity and ability to analyze and solve problems. There are also many newly established universities (private) in Singapore with a wide range of courses.

"Double Courses" is an educational model initiated by Malaysia in cooperation with foreign universities. Its cooperation methods mainly include 3+0 foreign university bachelor's degree courses and credit transfer courses. In recent years, it has been welcomed by many students in China. Under the "dual-course" model, Malaysian schools offer a wide range of degrees, ranging from those in Britain, the United States, New Zealand, Australia and Canada to those in China. There are many courses to choose from, including economics, business, law, communication, hotel and tourism management, education, medicine and so on. The qualifications awarded by these courses include certificates, diplomas, bachelor's degrees, master's degrees and doctoral degrees.

In addition, the Malaysian Ministry of Education has a set of strict management procedures for its private colleges. Schools should accept the management and supervision of relevant departments in terms of registration, curriculum and management facilities. If students encounter some problems or troubles, they can also complain to the Education Bureau of the Ministry of Education, which is in charge of private colleges. Therefore, Malaysia's education system and curriculum are relatively perfect and advanced.

Students with relatively relaxed admission conditions are easier to adapt.

Singapore and Malaysia are both bilingual countries, and English and Chinese are the two most important languages in Singapore and Malaysia. Except for public universities and postgraduate courses that require a certain TOEFL or IELTS score, most schools have preparatory classes for learning languages. After students have studied the language barrier in the preparatory course, they can enter the junior college directly as long as they pass the school exam.

In addition, most schools in Southeast Asia use English as the teaching language, but many people can speak Chinese. This will not only enable students to go to Southeast Asia without having a huge cultural and language impact like going to Europe and America, but also gradually improve their English level in their daily study and life, and finally communicate skillfully in English. They can easily adapt to this society in their living habits and ways of thinking. This is very important for international students who are still in adolescence.

High success rate of visa

Both Singaporean and Malaysian governments welcome students from China very much. The Singapore government attaches great importance to the development of human resources and is very willing to leave high-quality talents. Excellent international students can apply for new employment and residence after graduation as long as they have a certain degree. In recent years, the Malaysian government has continuously adjusted its policies to attract more China students.

With the support of the government, the visa approval procedures in Southeast Asian countries are simpler and faster than those in other countries. Take Singapore as an example. If you are attending a government school or an international school, you can apply for a visa directly to the Singapore Immigration Bureau, and the process is faster. Generally, all formalities can be completed within three months. If you are enrolled in a private school, the applicant must go to the Singapore Embassy in Beijing for an interview, which takes a little longer, usually 5.

Six months is enough.

Beautiful environment and pleasant climate.

Southeast Asian countries have a tropical rainforest climate with an average annual rainfall of 2000.

2500 mm, the annual temperature is maintained between 22℃ and 32℃. Singapore is called "Garden City" and has a very beautiful environment. In addition, Singapore and Malaysia have relatively stable politics, good public security and high humanistic quality, so parents are more assured to let their children go to Singapore.

Close to China, it is convenient to travel.

Studying in Southeast Asian countries also has one of the simplest and most unique advantages. That is, being closest to China, parents are more at ease. Usually, children have something to do, so it is very convenient to come back or go to their parents. It takes only three hours to fly from Hong Kong to Singapore, and the cost of air tickets from Beijing to Malaysia is not much different from that of traveling to the south. In this way, parents and students are psychologically easier to accept, and they feel similar to going to school in China, with a lot less worry and concern.
