What is it like to be a postdoc at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore?

The schooling period is 4-5 years. But the scholarship will be gone after four years. If you haven't graduated yet, you have to rely on your boss/college to support you. Usually the boss will also give you a salary similar to the scholarship. If you fail QE in the second year, you can get a master's degree and go home. Officially, there are no winter and summer vacations, and there are 21 days of annual leave (fluctuating) every year, because you are equivalent to a salaried employee. In theory, if you go abroad for personal reasons, you need to take leave. Generally speaking, bosses won’t keep an eye on you. As long as you stay in Singapore, your boss will be able to find you.
