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. |
