STUDY IN SINGAPORE


Singapore may be small, but this densely populated city- state is well on the way to establishing itself as a big player in the world of higher education and research.


A whole series of global reports have recognized Singapore as a world leader in research and innovation.


To name a few, it ranked third in the INSEAD Global Innovation Index 2012, first in the Innovation and Information Technology Foundation’s 2011 Innovation and Competitiveness report, and second in the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report for 2011-12.


As you’d expect, behind all this innovation lies an excellent higher education system, which is making its presence felt in the QS World University Rankings.


In the rankings by subject for 2012, the National University of Singapore (NUS) displays a breadth of high performance not many universities can rival.


Subjects in which NUS is now ranked within the global top ten include mechanical engineering, geography, law, computer science, accounting and finance, materials science, pharmacy, communication and media studies, statistics and modern languages.


Universities in Singapore


Singapore has more than one string to its bow, however. NUS (pictured) is joined in the QS rankings by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and – albeit in a smaller range of subjects – by Singapore Management University.


The country is also embracing collaborations with top universities in other countries, which is leading to even more attractive options for prospective students.


Among these is the newly established Singapore University of Technology and Design, developed in partnership with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US, and Zhejiang University, China.


Also set to open are the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, a collaboration between NTU and the UK's Imperial College London, and Yale-NUS College – the country’s first liberal arts college, established in partnership with Yale University, US.
