SINGAPORE |
|
Founded as a British
trading colony in
1819, Singapore joined
Malaysia in 1963, but
withdrew two years
later and became
independent. It
subsequently became
one of the world's
most prosperous
countries, with strong
international trading
links (its port is one
of the world's
busiest) and with per
capita GDP equal to
that of the leading
nations of Western
Europe. |

Why
Study In Singapore |
 |
|
With a population
where more than one
out of four persons is
a foreigner, Singapore
has been ranked no.1
in attracting
top-flight global
talent in a first-ever
study of economies
with a population of
under 20 million,
conducted by the
Swiss-based
International
Institute for
Management Development
(IMD). This makes
Singapore the ideal
breeding ground for
talent and education,
due to which leading
universities across
the world have set up
international campuses
in Singapore, offering
international degrees
at almost half of the
overseas tuition fee.
More than 6,000
companies from around
the world have set up
base in Singapore,
thus students often
find it possible to
build lucrative
careers here after
completing their
education. Singapore
has been consistently
ranked as one of the
most competitive
nations and best place
for businesses in the
world. |

It
is apparent how
Singapore earned its
reputation as the
Garden City. Generous
pockets of lush
gardens and tropical
greenery co-exist with
an urban landscape.
While the smaller
islands around serve
as idyllic playgrounds
for sea sports,
Singapore, being only
a few hours away from
other countries in
Asia, becomes ideal
for travelers
interested in this
region. A variety of
Spas, shopping malls,
carnivals and the
world's highest
observation wheel (The
Singapore Flyer – will
be completed by 2005),
all make student-life
in Singapore exciting
as well as enjoyable. |
