How to choose a private university in Singapore

Singapore dual certification

When students choose colleges, it is best to choose colleges with "EduTrust certification (EduTrust)" and "Service Quality Inspection Bureau Quality Qualification Certification (SQC)", the so-called dual certification.

Certification by the Chinese Ministry of Education

The Ministry of Education has established a foreign academic qualification certification mechanism. Students who return to China after studying abroad need to obtain a graduation certificate for academic qualification certification. Only foreign universities recognized by the Ministry of Education can obtain certification.

This certification is especially important for international students who are inclined to return to China after graduation. Some colleges and universities with excellent school quality and overseas-recognized academic qualifications have been "sucked by the pheasant" because they have not been certified by the domestic Ministry of Education for the time being.

High-quality partner schools are very important

Private schools in Singapore are generally run jointly with well-known schools in the United States or Commonwealth countries, such as the United Kingdom, Australia, etc., or branch campuses established by universities in these countries in Singapore.

The undergraduate and master's courses of private universities in Singapore are courses offered by foreign universities. The better the partner institutions, the better the quality of teaching in private universities.

Focus on professional rankings

Good colleges are important, but at the same time, the importance of majors cannot be underestimated.

When choosing a major, students need to look at the rankings of the majors they are interested in or plan to study in private schools, and try to choose schools with higher major rankings when the comprehensive ranking of schools is not too different.
