Destination of the Week – Singapore

Why study in Singapore?

Beyond the descriptions in travelogues, not many of us are aware of anything about Singapore, are we? Agreed that it is a great place for family vacations and an even better place for… err… honeymoon, yeah, but there is more to the country for an international student looking to study abroad.

 

How many of us would know that Singapore is one of the Four Asian Tigers/Dragons? Or that it is considered as a “Middle Power” in the world- not a super power country but one country that holds valuable influence in world affairs? In fact, beyond it being a travel destination, do we give Singapore much credit? We think not. It is quite unfair, really.

 

Let’s say that it was after 1965, finally, that Singapore came into being as a country. Since then, the rate at which it has grown has taken the world by surprise. It is one of the world’s major commercial hubs. It has the fourth biggest financial center which is home to a large number of internationally significant banks, businesses and stock exchanges. It has one of the world’s five busiest ports. In terms of purchasing power parity –PPP-, Singapore has the third highest per-capita income in the world. All this makes Singapore one of the hottest destination for students looking to Study Abroad

 

Most importantly, for a student, Singapore may look small- hanging below the Malay Peninsula- but it is a big hitter in the world of higher education and research. There are some of the world’s most qualitative public and private institutes housed in the country catering to a wide range of disciplines and students from across the world. It is home to some of the Top Ranking Universities of Singapore

 

Rankings

  • INSEAD Global Innovation Index ranked Singapore on third, in 2012.
  • Innovation and Information Technology Foundation’s report placed the country at the top in the world.
  • World Economic Forum’s report placed it second.
  • It has maintained its reputation for being one of the world’s safest places to live in.
