Introduction of application materials and procedures for studying in Singapore

Singapore is recognized as a country with a high standard of living in Asia and one of the popular destinations for studying abroad. Before applying for studying in Singapore, you need to submit some basic materials. Many friends don't know the details yet. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction.

Application materials for studying in Singapore

1. diploma

Students who are studying provide proof of attendance, and graduates provide diploma (notarization). Singapore graduate students are more inclined to admit undergraduates with good grades in related majors. If they apply for interdisciplinary courses, the success rate may not be too high unless they have some relevant work experience.

Step 2: Copy

Students provide transcripts for the first three years of college, and graduates provide transcripts for the fourth year of college, but! I'm not asking you to simply hand in a report card!

First of all, you must have a GPA of at least 3.0 to apply. Secondly, if you want to go to the top three universities, it's best to be born in 985/2 1 1, and you can apply for more than 80 points. If you are a double-non-student, the average score should be above 85, and your resume should be excellent, such as your IELTS, internship, award-winning certificate of scientific research experience, etc ... That is to say, you must be excellent in other aspects to make up for the disadvantage of your school background (bad school contempt chain ...), so the number of double-non-students admitted every year is very small! Those who don't care about ranking can consider SUTD. ...

3. Language achievement certificate

Both IELTS and TOEFL are acceptable, but Singapore has low requirements for students' language scores. Under normal circumstances, IELTS 6.0 and TOEFL 85 will do, and some popular majors have higher requirements. For example, the business major of NUS requires IELTS score of 7 and TOEFL 100 or above. IELTS is just something that reaches the threshold. You can brush it if you have time. This is a bonus. If you don't have time, the minimum requirements will do. Take time to work hard in other areas.

4.GRE/GMAT score

Science and engineering require GRE scores, and GMAT business requires more. For these majors, you don't have to submit them unless official website insists on submitting them, but you know that other majors are not demanding.

5. Internship/work certificate

If the conditions are not enough, the internship will come together. When looking for an internship, you must find an internship that is the same as the major you applied for. It is best to practice in a big company for more than two months. If it is a small company, try to increase the degree of internship. After a long internship, even in a small company, you can get in touch with the core work, which can also prove that your professional ability is solid.

As for the practice of opening an L/C, I suggest you don't ... You don't have personal internship experience, you can't write in-depth documents, and there is an interview later. In case of being caught, this kind of thing can be big or small, but it is very serious to pursue it! If you must start, please be sure to know the work situation of the internship company and internship position in advance and do as many simulation exercises as possible.

6. All kinds of award-winning certificates and other certificates

It is not a necessity, but it can add points to the application.

7. Personal statement (PS)

You need to write down in PS in just 500- 1000 words why you want to study for a master's degree in this major, what academic/practical ability you have, your understanding and reasons for this major, what your career plan is, and so on.

Don't underestimate PS. Think about it. If 1 1,000 people apply for a major with you, and among them 1 1,000 people have similar background to you, how will they choose? Look at your PS! Look at your expression of your experience. If you meet him, of course you will be chosen!

But writing PS requires a strong English foundation. If you have confidence in yourself, you can try to write it yourself. If not, be sure to find a reliable (emphasis: reliable) document teacher to help you write. Be sure to modify it after writing it! It is best to find several cases of successful application documents for reference.

In addition, one more mouth, please prepare different PS for different majors. Materialist dialectics requires us to adhere to the concrete analysis of specific problems. ...

8. resume

Resume, some majors don't need to be provided separately, because a lot of information filled in by the online application link is almost a complete resume ... but there is no guarantee that some majors need to be provided, so it is better to prepare one in advance.

9. Letter of recommendation

In most cases in China, I write my own recommendation letter and then get the professor to sign it directly. The principle of seeking reference: familiarity with teachers > matching degree between teachers and majors > teachers' wishes > teachers' support positions, academic performance, etc. (remember! ! ! ) The two better choices are teachers or thesis tutors of their own professional courses, who are familiar with them and have high professional matching!

skill

The degree certificate needs to be notarized, and if it is fair, it is at the domicile.

Transcripts need to be stamped with the seal of the academic affairs office of the school. If an English version is needed, you can translate it yourself and stamp the school.

English GREGMAT needs an official application, and then the official will send it directly to the school.

The internship/work certificate needs to be stamped with the seal of the internship/work unit.

After the materials are ready, keep an eye on the school dynamics. Once opened, hurry to apply. Limited places, first come, first served! Generally, the open application time is September-165438+1October every year.

Specific application process for studying in Singapore

1. You need to register an account and start applying.

You need a mailbox to register your account. It is recommended to identify a mailbox, because you will need many mailboxes in the future, and it is more convenient to manage only one. Then apply online according to the requirements of the school. Some professional online applications need to send paper materials in the future (the sending requirements will be discussed later). It is recommended to use SF Express, which is fast and safe.

2. Pay the application fee

After filling out the form and uploading all kinds of materials, you also need an online VISA card to pay the application fee, which is about 100 yuan for a major. After payment is completed, the receipt and other things should be kept well, and the materials to be sent later should be used.

Send materials

As I said before, not all majors need to apply for papers. It depends on the professional requirements, so keep your eyes open and look at official website's requirements. Note: English diploma/degree certificate, together with transcripts, need to be sealed by the school envelope and sent directly; Graduation certificates and complete transcripts of recent graduates need to be sent separately after graduation. As for the delivery time, official website will write it when applying online. Just send it to school before DDL.

Wait for a proposal

But don't be silly. In this process, you can check your application status at any time and pay attention to the delivery of materials. After receiving the materials, they will send you an email to confirm. If you have any questions, you can email or call directly.

In addition, some majors will have an interview session. If you receive an interview invitation, congratulations, you are only one step away from success! If it is clearly stated that there is a school with an interview session, others have received an interview invitation, but you haven't received it yet. Chances are, you're already cold, so come up with a plan B.

The interview methods are mainly video interview and on-site interview. Video interview needs skype software, and on-site interview means going to Beishangguang, one-on-one interview or one-on-two interview. The interview process is to introduce yourself first (prepare in advance! ), about 30 seconds, then a rambling English conversation, and finally a derivative question and answer.

5. Accept the quotation and confirm it

The time provided is not fixed, depending on the time when you apply online. If you forget to submit any materials halfway, it may be slower! Then! ! It is very important to remember to check your email at any time! Some students think that everything will be fine by submitting an application. They lie at home and don't listen to any sound outside the window. They don't even know that they have received the offer and will pay the reservation fee through DDL! !

Speaking of the booking fee, let's talk about it first: after receiving the offer, you must pay the booking fee, that is, the deposit, within the time stipulated by the school, which is a means for the school to prevent you from standing him up. The amount is generally one-third of the tuition fee. If you don't hand it in, you won't be able to go to this school after the time. If you don't pay, I'm sorry, your reservation will cost money. ...

After confirming the payment, we will wait for the official offer letter and offer package at the end of May.

Step 6 get a visa and find a house

If you don't have a medical examination in advance, you can usually get a visa within 1 month. The required materials include the letter of application for registration of student ID card sent by the school, various documents, financial information, notarized documents and so on.

In terms of accommodation, NTU offers accommodation prices ranging from1500-2,500 RMB/month, which is cheaper than off-campus renting. There is a free campus shuttle bus after class, and there is a study room, gym and dance room after class (cool ...), with a total annual fee of 3W; NUS is not so happy. It needs to rent a house off campus, which costs 3000-4000 RMB/month, and it is not convenient to attend classes.

Precautions for studying in Singapore

1. Pay attention to the education system when studying in Singapore. Singapore's education system is in line with the world, and diplomas and degrees are internationally recognized. Singapore's educational goal is to provide everyone with a balanced education, adhere to the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and give full play to everyone's potential.

Pay attention to keep in touch with China when studying in Singapore. Before going abroad, the parties agree on contact information with their families or friends.

3. Pay attention to attendance when studying in Singapore. 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.

4. Check the validity 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 authorities 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 because the validity period of the passports does not meet the requirements of Singapore and the passport holders make mistakes in spelling or date of birth.

5. Contact China embassies and consulates abroad in time.

As you need to stay in Singapore for a period of time to study abroad, please contact the Embassy of China in Singapore in time after you arrive at your destination: First, register citizens so that the Embassy can get in touch with them in time in case of emergency; Second, consult the Education Office of the Embassy about the local China students in order to learn from them.
