What are the advantages and disadvantages of studying in Singapore?

Known as the "Garden City", Singapore is a popular country for studying abroad among Asian countries. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of studying in Singapore? Students, let's meet the teacher.

1. Advantages of studying in Singapore

1. With the support of the Singapore government, Singaporean students with excellent academic performance can also receive government scholarships.

The Singapore Ministry of Education recruits new students from famous universities in China every year. After several procedures, such as the selection examination and the interview of officials from the Ministry of Education of China and Singapore, I obtained a scholarship from the Ministry of Education of Singapore and the Science and Technology Group to study in Singapore. According to experts, in addition to the tuition fees provided by the Ministry of Education and sponsoring enterprises, college students of this nature can also receive various living allowances of S $7,700 (about US$ 4,400) every year. The only condition is that you need to stay in your new job for 6 years after graduation. If you are studying for a master's degree or a doctor's degree in Singapore, there is no requirement for years of service to get a scholarship.

2. There are many Chinese in Singapore, so it is easy for China students to adapt.

Chinese Singaporeans account for 78%, and the essence of China culture influences the ideology of this society. International students from China can easily adapt to this society, regardless of their living habits or ways of thinking.

Singapore is a bilingual country.

In Singapore, most schools use English as the teaching language, while Chinese is the common second language. When studying in Singapore, China students can use English fluently, and they don't have to worry about being unable to communicate at first because of language barriers.

Singapore has a good social order.

The quality of citizens is high, and the crime rate is one of the lowest in the world, so parents feel at ease to let their children go to Singapore. Plus, Singapore is close to China, so it is more convenient to go back and forth.

5. The visa success rate is high.

To study in Singapore, the examination and approval procedures for studying in Singapore are relatively simple and quick. If you are studying in a government school or an international school, you can apply for a visa directly from the Singapore Immigration Department, which is faster. If you enroll in a private school, the applicant must go to the Singapore Embassy in Beijing for an interview, which usually takes 5-6 months.

Second, the shortcomings of studying in Singapore

The reality of 1 is not as good as expected, and the contrast is great.

At present, most people in China have a very good impression of Singapore, such as picturesque environment, good national quality and the use of both Chinese and English. However, there is always a gap between reality and imagination, so many China students are very disappointed when they arrive in Singapore. In fact, understanding a country cannot be achieved overnight.

2. Singaporeans are not from China.

It seems nonsense, but it's true. Many China students find that when they arrive in Singapore, Singaporeans' attitudes towards China people are not all satisfactory.

In Singapore, most elderly people have a good impression on China, but a considerable number of young people, especially those who are very "westernized", reject China people. Some people even disdain to speak Chinese. This makes many students in China feel very uncomfortable. In fact, it is because the official language of Singapore is English that China students can get internationally recognized diplomas.

3. The quality of school education is not necessarily high.

After China students came to Singapore, they found that Singaporeans' English with accents and teaching quality were not necessarily much higher than that of China. And at the same cost, the Singapore diploma is not as useful as the British and American diploma. In addition, only two or three universities in Singapore are well-known, but some schools enroll students in the name of enrollment.

The above advantages and disadvantages of studying in Singapore, students can analyze according to their actual situation, whether to study in Singapore. Everything is good and bad, and what suits you is the best.
