How to apply for a study abroad program in Singapore

From your idea of studying in Singapore to your final trip, everything at every stage is indispensable.

Yes Experts studying abroad summarized the five steps needed to study in Singapore in detail, hoping to bring convenience to everyone.

The first stage: consider studying abroad.

1. Students in Grade Three and Grade One.

This kind of students will certainly benefit a lot in the future if they enter a pure English environment at a stage suitable for learning languages. Senior high school education in Singapore attaches great importance to the cultivation of students' practical ability, teamwork ability and comprehensive quality. With three years of study experience in overseas middle schools, I overcame the language barrier and got an undergraduate degree in an excellent overseas university easily.

2. Senior three students.

Before finishing high school, the admission and visa of foreign universities should be implemented, and students should leave as soon as they graduate. Because most universities in Singapore have a dual admission policy of language plus professional courses at the undergraduate level, the language pressure encountered by such students when applying for overseas universities is still relatively small, and it is easy to achieve the best connection between graduation and study abroad, saving time and effort. 3. Students who have been studying or graduated from college for three years.

The current education can't meet the requirements of the job. While you are young and your study efficiency is high (generally speaking, it will be more difficult to get a visa when you are old), you can consider going to Singapore for graduate study. People with certain work experience can also consider enrolling in postgraduate diploma courses to pave the way for future immigration or employment.

The second stage: choosing a school

The three government-run public universities in Singapore are National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University, which can issue diplomas with bachelor's degrees or above. Because the government provides tuition subsidies, the requirements for students' admission are relatively strict. Generally, the common way for China students to enter public universities is to score above 50 points in the college entrance examination, or to enroll in the A-Level examination in Singapore.

Generally speaking, private colleges in Singapore are divided into secondary schools, training schools, degree education institutions and specialized vocational schools. Degree education institutions (private universities) with the largest number of choices for students in China. After completing the three-year (two-year master's degree) professional courses, students can obtain bachelor's and master's degrees awarded by the Anglo-American-Australian cooperative university, and students can also go to the cooperative university to study in the last year.

Private colleges and universities are the main way to cultivate elites in various fields in Singapore and have made important contributions to the rapid development of Singapore's economy. However, because it is a private education group, there is a big gap in strength, and it also presents a mixed situation. When choosing a private school, we should pay attention to the following four points:

1) See the certification: See the certification of Edu Trust and the certification of China Embassy in Singapore. The existence of Edu trust certification is an important standard to measure schools. Schools without Edu trust certification system will have no legal qualification. 2) Look at the facilities and scale: Almost all private schools closed in Singapore are small-scale schools, and the reduction of international students will not be able to operate normally.

3) Look at the international status of the cooperative colleges and the recognition of graduates by the market.

The third stage: preparing materials and applying.

Time of sending application materials: Xinjiapo Public University starts in August, and Government Institute of Technology starts in April and June at 5438+00. Students who apply for private universities start classes 3-4 times a year, and students need to apply 2-3 months in advance.

Note: Visa application requires a guarantee of RMB 6.5438+0.6 million, and there is no deposit history.

This is the most important step in studying in Singapore. As long as the materials are complete and meet the requirements of the school you apply for, it is relatively easy to apply for a visa. The completed application form and all necessary original documents will be submitted directly to the selected school. The required documents are: 1, 6 standard passport size photos (only photos with white background are accepted).

2. The photocopies of the first page and the last page of the applicant's passport must clearly show the passport photo, personal data, expiration date and signature (if the passport has been extended or changed, the page indicating the extension and replacement of the passport needs to be clearly copied on the second page of the passport).

3. The notarized original of the applicant's birth certificate (in Chinese and English)

Birth notarization can be issued at the police station where the household registration is located. The letter of proof clearly states when you were born, your birthplace, your parents' names and whether you are alive or not. Stamp the police station and take it to the local notary office. You need a photo, take another photo to the notary office for the record. Remember to bring your household registration book and ID card.

4. The original notarial certificate of the applicant's highest diploma (in Chinese and English) and the original notarial certificate of the applicant's transcript (in Chinese and English).

You go to the academic affairs office of the school where you graduated last time (or are currently studying) and tell you to apply for an overseas university, so that the school can issue you a certificate of grades for each semester during your stay at school. The grade certificate lists your courses and grades in each semester of the school, and must be stamped with the official seal of the school and signed by the person in charge. If you are a student who has not graduated from school, please ask the academic affairs office to issue a certificate of attendance and a certificate of school performance to prove that you are a student of several grades in our school and have completed the grade. Excellent grades can facilitate your successful approval from overseas universities. 5. Original notarial certificate of bank deposit (in Chinese and English)

The depositor can be the applicant's parents or the applicant himself. The deposit is at least 654.38 yuan+500,000 yuan, and the deposit time is at least 6 months from the date of handling. If economic conditions permit, it is recommended that the deposit certificate be between 200,000 and 250,000.

6. Original parents' professional certificate (in Chinese and English)

Please write it on the company stationery and affix the official seal. Please indicate the position, salary and working hours. 7. Bank draft for school registration fee

The fourth stage: get the notice and apply for a student ID card.

If your college entrance examination score is no more than 50 points and you want to enter a public university in Singapore, then you have to take the A-Level exam. Other schools sometimes organize exams. If a student passes the entrance examination, the school will accept his application, issue a notice and give you a complete V36A form. The notice will indicate that the school accepts the applicant in principle. The applicant applies for a student pass to the Immigration and Checkpoint Bureau (ICA) with the letter of admission.

Materials required to apply for a student permit:

1) two forms 16, V36 and V39S (form 16 is some basic information of the applicant, such as age, gender, country of origin, address, etc. ); Form V36 is some information about the applicant's parents and spouse, income and economic situation. Form V39S is the information and signature of the guarantor. If you don't have any relatives or friends in Singapore who are Singapore citizens or permanent residents as your guarantor, the school will be your guarantor. )

2) Two recent passport photos, a copy of the applicant's passport, and notarization of the applicant's birth.

3) Copy of the applicant's highest academic certificate and transcript (notarized if your academic certificate is not in English).

4) A copy of the ID card of the applicant's guarantor. If you are a school guarantor, you don't need it. 5) Deposit certificate and study abroad plan in Singapore, with some study abroad plans written on it.

The fifth stage: apply for a visa and prepare your belongings.

Freshman applications are generally answered within 4-6 weeks. If there is no problem with the materials, the visa should be approved smoothly. After the visa is passed, please pay the first tuition fee according to the instructions in the school admission notice (some schools can pay directly after going to Singapore). Next, you should start preparing for your future life in Singapore. Many students who go to Singapore will find their own houses before going. Afterwards, you can go to Singapore. When you arrive, you should pay attention to two things as soon as possible: do a physical examination and get a student ID card from the immigration office. Then you can report to the school, go to school and start your study abroad career in Singapore.

Required items

Medicines: cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, diarrhea medicine, dermatological medicine, cooling oil, toilet water, band-aid and other personal medicines. The medical expenses in Singapore are quite expensive, and the commonly used drugs are well prepared. But don't bring too much, especially Chinese herbal medicine into Singapore.

Clothing: T-shirts, jeans, trousers, casual shorts and other summer clothes are often worn in Singapore, and underwear on campus is more casual. Such clothes can be worn everyday, but you don't have to carry too much. You can also bring a coat or a sports coat to keep out the cold in a cold air-conditioned room. For footwear, we usually wear sports shoes or casual shoes on campus. You also need to prepare a pair of good quality sandals and two pairs of slippers.

Bedding: Students' dormitories or family accommodations in Singapore are generally equipped with mattresses. Other bedding can be purchased locally. If you bring it from China, the suggestions are: pillowcases and sheets, air-conditioned quilts or towel quilts. You can buy pillows here. You don't need to bring a mosquito net.

Personal daily necessities: cups, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, etc. You can bring it in moderation. Except toothbrushes, ordinary daily necessities are cheaper than those in China, such as shampoo and shower gel.

Learning tools: students usually bring electronic dictionaries, but it is recommended not to rely too much. You can also bring an English-Chinese or Ying Ying dictionary. Other scientific dictionaries are of little use. Please handle these books carefully, because they are heavy, which will increase the weight of luggage. Electronic consultation in Singapore is very developed, and many people are used to reading books and searching for information on computers. Bring some writing tools, such as original ballpoint pens.
