1. How much does it cost to study in Singapore?
Costs mainly include tuition and living expenses.
Tuition: S$12,000–20,000/year for public schools; S$15,000–25,000/year for private.
Living: Around S$800–1,500/month including housing, transport, and food.
Overall, Singapore offers better value than Western countries.
2. Can international students work part-time in Singapore?
Student Pass holders at approved institutions may work up to 16 hours/week during vacations. Part-time work during term may be restricted and must follow ICA/school rules.
3. How to choose the right school and course?
Choice depends on academic background, English level, interests, and goals. We recommend suitable institutions (public or private), majors (business, IT, engineering, etc.), and paths (foundation, diploma, degree, master’s).
4. Do I need IELTS or other English tests?
Most institutions require English proof like IELTS, TOEFL, or internal tests. If you lack results, some schools offer prep courses. Primary/secondary entry requires AEIS — a full-English test for foreigners.
5. Can I apply for scholarships or financial aid?
Yes. Some public universities (e.g., NUS, NTU) and private institutions offer scholarships or tuition subsidies based on academic performance. We’ll help identify and apply for these options.
6. Can students apply for work passes or PR?
Yes. Younger students may apply for PR after passing a national exam. Graduates can find local jobs and have employers apply for work passes.
