Introduction to matters needing attention in studying in Singapore

Singapore's educational advantages have led many domestic students to study in Singapore with high teaching quality. So what are the precautions for studying in Singapore? Let me give you a detailed introduction. Welcome to reading.

Introduction to matters needing attention in studying in Singapore 1. Check the validity period of China passport in time.

Article 7 of the Passport Law of the People's Republic of China, which came into effect on June 5438+ 10/2007, stipulates: "The registration items of ordinary passports include: the name, gender, date of birth, place of birth, date of issue, validity period, place of issue and issuing authority of passports. The validity period of ordinary passports is:/kloc-5 years for passport holders under 0/6 years old, 10 years for passport holders over 6 years old. The specific measures for issuing ordinary passports shall be formulated by the Ministry of Public Security ". Therefore, the relevant parties should check the validity period and other items of their China passports, so as to avoid visa rejection or inconvenience when entering or leaving the country due to the fact that the validity period of passports does not meet the requirements of Singapore and the wrong spelling or date of birth of passport holders.

Second, bank cards.

After arriving in Singapore, first open an account locally and use a local bank card in Singapore. Although several major domestic banks have branches in Singapore, Visa and Master cards are also acceptable, but the handling fee is not low and not cost-effective.

Third, the class attendance rate.

The Immigration Department of Singapore requires international students to attend classes at least 90% per month, otherwise the visa will be refused. If students need to take time off due to illness during their study, they need to apply to the dean of the college and provide a sick leave form issued by a regular doctor. Only after approval can they take time off. Anyone who takes leave or returns to China for more than 60 days must reapply to the Singapore Immigration Bureau after the student visa expires, and cannot apply for extension.

Fourth, pay attention to preview and review.

Preview the content of the teacher's next class before class, try to find out the words and questions you don't understand, and be prepared in class, so that it is easier to understand the teacher's lecture.

First of all, you should learn by yourself, and you can't wait for the teacher to "feed" the knowledge. After-class review is consolidated and improved, and basically you will be able to understand more than 80% of the teacher's lectures smoothly after 3 months.

Teachers in Singapore are very good at guiding. The teacher gives an introduction in class, and the students have to read a lot of books in the rest of the time to understand and digest.

Fifth, class performance is very important.

Taking good class notes is another key to master the content of the teacher's lecture. Teaching English is not as easy as teaching Chinese. Try to record the important questions in class, or communicate with your classmates to make your notes more complete. At the same time, ask questions that teachers don't understand.

In addition, be sure to attend the class speech. In Singapore, teachers encourage students to participate in class discussions and discuss any questions with teachers. Teachers in overseas universities prefer students who love to ask questions rather than obedient students. Speaking, discussing and asking questions in class will affect your usual grades.

Sixth, the course selection should be gradual.

There are also some skills in choosing courses, especially in the first semester and the second semester. These two semesters are the key stages for students to get familiar with the whole English teaching environment and improve their English level, so don't take too many courses and generally meet the minimum credit requirements of the university.

After the first year, you can take more courses according to your actual level and ability. Foreign students must pay attention to step by step, and can't rush into it.

Seven. emergency aid

In Singapore, when you encounter danger and difficulties, you can ask the Singapore police for help anytime and anywhere. One way to ask for help is to call the police. The phone number is 999, and it's free. If your English can't express your meaning, you can insist on speaking Chinese, and they will arrange someone who can talk to you to communicate with you.

VIII. Matters needing attention in work

Some students who went to study in Singapore put too much energy into their work and finally neglected their studies. In addition, the attendance rate of students studying in Singapore University is particularly high. Once there is a problem with attendance, students may not get a study permit, and may even end up doing black jobs. After all, the money earned by working is limited, and it is a great loss for every student to fail to complete his studies.
