Study in Singapore
Singapore’s multicultural society is composed of four major
ethnic groups: the Chinese (76.8%), Malays (13.9%), Pakistanis (7.9%), and
Eurasians and smaller minority groups (1.4%). The variety of religions is a
direct reflection of the diversity of races living here. Singapore’s
principal religions are Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity. To
add to this, the numbers of visitors that come to
visit Singapore each year are double its population!
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 below 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 travellers interested in this
region. A variety of Spas, shopping malls, carnivals and the world’s highest
observation wheel all make student – life in Singapore exciting as
well as enjoyable.
