MSc Biotechnology - Batch of 2025

Placements at NUS for Biotechnology are pretty low.
Tips: Moving into any country is initially difficult with a lot of challenges, but with time it gets much better. Specially I was happy to find so many Indian friends in a foreign land. No scholarships for this course. Loved my experience at NUS, with great friends and approachable professors. And Singapore is no doubt one of the most beautiful and safest places.
Likes (Student Life): NUS is beautiful and huge with a lot of things to see around. I personally found a great set of Indian friends during my time there. A lot of clubs, both academic and nonacademic are there. My favourite part about NUS was the student lounge called Pitstop, offering video games, TT, foosball, board games etc.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Placements at NUS specifically for Biotechnology are pretty low. But there are career fairs that keep happening around the year, which is a plus point to build your network and get an understanding of the companies in Singapore. Jobs usually start from around 3500SGD - 4500SGD for freshers.

Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) - Batch of 2025
4.2
The professors and peers are quite open and helpful.
Tips: Being in Asia the culture is quite similar. The intake of Indian students has increased exponentially over the past few years. The rental cost will be one of the main expenses. If staying off campus which is becoming more and more common due to limited space in the university, it can cost you 1000-1300 sgd/month easily. The tuition grant can reduce the tuition fee substantially and make it easier to get a job later but it can become a double edged sword if you don't get a job. There are no scholarships as such otherwise for undergraduates from India. The best part about Singapore is that it's very easy to travel back to India as the flights are cheaper and not too long. I personally used to go back 3-4 times every year. There are also a lot of places you can visit in Southeast Asia which are not too expensive either. Do note that the coursework generally tends to be quite heavy and the competition is quite high as well. The last few weeks of the semester and exam times can be quite stressful but generally manageable. The professors and peers are generally quite open and helpful. Do note that at the end of the day the culture is very Asian and everyone is more focused on getting good grades and a job. If you want to explore the entrepreneurial side, then NUS shouldn't be your choice. Interaction with alumni seniors and peers is usually quite limited and will depend on your personal effort. There's a very good chance you will only know the names of a handful of your batch mates by the time you graduate.
Likes (Safety): Singapore is probably the safest place you can be in. I would have given it a six star rating if I could. You can leave anything even in public cafes and nobody would touch anything. There are multiple university helplines too to help with mental wellbeing as well.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Being a small country, they are extremely selective when it comes to PR/Citizenship. Even getting a visa for your job can be very hard as the salary requirements are usually much higher than what a fresh graduate will get. There is a tuition grant option available which discounts your tuition fee if you are ready to work in Singapore for at least 3 years. That can make it easier to get a job later as well. Without that, it is very hard to get a job.

MSc in Finance - Batch of 2025

Highly academic and competitive.
Tips: Before joining National University of Singapore students should know that it's highly competitive beneath the surface. Most peers were toppers back home. Internships start as early as Year 1 and grades are often bell curve so doing it isn't always enough; you need to be proactive about building your profile through internships, case competitions, networking and leadership roles from the start. The academic rigour is real especially in business, computing and quantitative fields, and the brand carries strong weight across Asia especially in finance and consulting. The ROI depends heavily on how strategically you use the platform. It's international and full of high achievers which can trigger imposter syndrome and Singapore itself is compact so social life requires effort. NUS rewards initiative, planning and resilience far more than passive participation.

Unlearning and relearning.
Tips: I was lucky enough to have made friends and built my community fairly early on. Sure, there were cultural difference but once you're open to learning and allowing yourself to ease your own stereotypical schemas about the world, adjusting becomes a lot easier. I did not avail any scholarship, as there weren't any scholarships available by the school for my course. But there are many other private orgs that offer social sciences scholarships. I wouldn't trade my experience for anything, and look forward to more students having the same experience I did.
Dislikes (Student Life): The faculty at NUS is as diverse as you can imagine. I was lucky to be taught by faculty members with experience across regions USA, Australia, Korea, Singapore, China, industries and teaching modalities. A particular teaching modality that I found value in was our practicums. After our lecture, we were divided into two smaller groups to review case studies, policy documents and mock-simulations. This way we were able to better integrate theoretical knowledge into real-world prescriptions.

Excellent value for money and student friendly.
Tips: The transition was quite easy for me. Singapore felt somewhat familiar. Almost like a hybrid environment. I'm not on scholarship. I'm quite satisfied being here. It is a great country with strong opportunities. Although the outcome still depends on market conditions and a bit of luck.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Quite approachable and super smart faculty. Courses are challenging enough in the mathematics department, and students are incredibly bright. Pushes you to think harder. Faculty is diverse, different colleges eg. College of Humanities, have greater diversity in faculty.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Companies sponsor based on your skill and experience. You have to work quite hard to balance coursework and internship applications and sometimes even internships. Have to work quite hard and hustle with university. The minimum amount to sponsor an Employment Pass is above 6,200/month in financial services. So that should be a good baseline.

Fulfilling experience studying at NUS.
Tips: Scholarships are plenty, you should definitely apply for one. Most of them, though, come with a bond. There are of course some culture difference but you can settle in easily. If you are a vegetarian, food options may be a bit limited. NUS is a good place to be.
Likes (Student Life): Well maintained hostels within campus, a lot of activities, amazing sports facilities, a wide variety of communities and opportunities to build your own society/clubs. The campus has events happening throughout the year from the student life fair to Supernova (a concert).
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): To apply for a PR in Singapore is getting progressively harder. If you really want to ensure that you get one, you will need to prove extremely beneficial to their country and economy. Have a portfolio that reflects what you have done for the country. But given that, it's not impossible.

A great source of opportunity.
Tips: There is a tuition grant which is available for international students which helps you reduce tuition feels upto 50% and contractually work in a Singapore registered company after graduation. Having said that kindly check the Ministry of Education policy and documents before considering this option.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Singapore PR is very tough to get and citizenship is close to impossible; it protects its citizens as a priority and is very tough to apply for citizenship. It is a highly protected country but we have an opportunity for an employment pass which serves as a right to work in Singapore.

Perfect place for focused individuals.
Tips: Very easy and convenient mode of transport. There are buses or metro connections to every part of the city and you can track your journey on Google Maps itself which is very accurate. The cost of public transport is very cheap and the buses and metro journeys is calculated as a sum of the journey and not charged per ride. Getting a job is totally dependent on how well you network. For Indians, it's easy to shift as you can find a lot of Indians living and working here. Very much satisfied with NUS and the alumni connect and opportunities you get as a part of the programme.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The Singapore law isn't easier for a foreign individual to get PR. You can get an employment visa from the employers which allows you to work in Singapore as per the contract. If completed Ph.D. then the chances for you to get PR would be increased as your contribution to the country's research will matter a lot.

The NUS MBA - Batch of 2023

NUS MBA is good if you are open to exploring job opportunities outside of Singapore.
Tips: Come with a clearly defined goal of what you want from the program and dont expect to learn what you want from the program. Network with people a lot to help break into opportunities and dont rely on the college to find you a job. Push yourself to go out and learn new things, participate in case competitions, go on study trips (GIP) and make friends from different cultures.
Likes (Student Life): The college campus provides great infrastructure and offers a good college life right from sports all the way to libraries. There are more than 13 tennis courts, numerous basketball courts, gymnasiums and much more. The library is huge and it offers diverse choices. On top of this there are different options to choose from in terms of residence and you can interact with a diverse cohort.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Tough job market since the government launched COMPAS to award work permits. Due to this, recruiters find it difficult to hire expats. If you have a generic skill it is difficult to get hired. There is a premium on technical skillsets.

Great university and good opportunities.
Tips: There will be some cultural differences when students come to Singapore for the first time. I got the SINGA scholarship by A*STAR for my course which covers my tuition fee and gives me a monthly stipend of 2700SGD per month for two years and which increases to 3300SGD per month for another two years.
Likes (Public transportation): All the places are well connected with metro and buses. The most common are the metro and buses. You can use the same card in both and you can also use your bank cards. The public transportation is affordable as compared to cabs and owning a personal vehicle.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is difficult to get a PR as it is very competitive and quota based. You can settle here with long term pass as well. If given a chance I would love to permanently immigrate here because of various reasons such as safety, security, clean environment.

A rigorous and international experience at NUS.
Tips: Students should be aware that this programme is academically rigorous and fast-paced, with reading that needs to be completed before each class. Students need to be proactive about networking and internship opportunities, as these are independent of the coursework. The transition was generally smooth. Classes are interactive and students are expected to participate as part of their grades and contribute from their own previous experiences. Personally, I did not avail myself of any scholarships. However the university offers certain merit-based scholarships as seen on their website, but these are competitive and limited in number and dependent on academic performance. I am satisfied with the university and the course due to the strength of the faculty and international exposure, safety, infrastructure and quality of life.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty consists of leading academicians and senior practitioners who are recognised authorities in their respective fields. Faculty members are approachable. Professors are open to discussions beyond class hours respond to emails and actively engage during lectures. The teaching methodology focuses on both theory and practice.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration in Singapore is connected to securing long-term employment. As an international student pursuing an LL.M. at NUS the course itself does not guarantee job placement. The university does not provide a placement process. Given a competitive and saturated job market transitioning from a student visa to a work visa can be uncertain. Having said that, if table employment opportunities are available I would be interested in permanently immigrating to Singapore.

Great place to study with a lot of opportunities.
Tips: It is a fantastic place to study. Just don't expect to find a job easily. Also, you surely need to follow the rules, otherwise you will be in trouble. If you like to study as well as have fun, Singapore, NUS and NTU are most certainly the right places for you.
Likes (Part time work): A lot of opportunities. Can work for about 20 hours a week. Classes are late in the day for post graduation, hence it was easy to manage. I worked on campus as well as outside. The opportunities to be a teaching assistant or tutor were ample. Additional campus and tutoring jobs were common.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Most of the students who studied with me have moved to other countries or have returned home as it has not been very favourable for non-Singapore citizens and permanent residents. However, it is a fantastic city and country. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

A year of growth, grit and global learning; between books, botanical gardens and dreams.
Tips: Half of my batchmates were from China. They are quite smart and a close community. It will take time to get up with them but they are sweet, kind and simple. The country itself is quite silent except for tourist places. The day begins at 6 am & ends at 7 pm for them. However, for law students the classes go from 9 am to 9:30 pm depending on the subjects one opts for. The professors are quite down to earth and will guide you whenever you are stuck. There are numerous networking events in NUS and at various law firms. It is quite interesting to meet fellow lawyers and partners of the firm, especially the alumni. It was a wonderful experience living on your own and managing in a new country.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is too good. One gets flexibility to choose the subjects, interact directly with the professors, spend time in the study room and library, and explore the greenery around the campus. Fortunately, we got the botanical garden campus which was well connected to the main campus. We got to learn in a calm atmosphere with pleasant weather and explore the main campus which had a lot of events, museums, etc. to explore.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Considering the huge legal market and amount of competition, it is quite challenging to secure a full time position in Singapore. Strong networking and convincing skills along with a good resume may help to secure a full time position. After LL.M. one is required to give the FPE exam to practice in Singapore courts. If one wants to work in Singapore without giving the FPE exam, it is better to pursue a JD programme instead of an LL.M.

Quality education without emptying your pockets.
Tips: Be prepared for high quality education with quality students from the rest of Asian. The environment is highly competitive but also conducive to learning. NUS changed my life completely and gave me my best years of learning, growth and friendships.
Likes (Indian Food): There is a food court culture in NUS where every faculty and residence has its own food courts with multiple options including that of Indian food. While pantries are there with each residence, there is hardly a need to cook your own food because food is available cheaply and easily.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Multiple companies across sectors sponsor visas however it is becoming increasingly difficult. Salaries can range from as low as 40,000 annually to 1,20,000, depending on the sector and quality. There is no on-campus placement system here. Jobs are through career fair and offline applications so applicants need to self prepare and self-apply.

Adapting, learning and growing.
Tips: Life changes a lot when moving to Singapore. A degree here at NUS teaches both research and life skills. The school of medicine offers free mentorship and the university offers free therapy sessions which help manage stress. Be ready for cultural diversity and balancing your own roots with a new environment. The first year was challenging, adjusting to Singapore's diverse culture while staying connected to home away. Over time, I adapted and gained a broader perspective on people, life and friendships. I'm on a NUS research scholarship, which covers full tuition and gives a monthly stipend of SGD 2700 before PQE and SGD 3500 after. I first emailed my professor, later applied via the NUS website, submitted a proposal, went through an interview and cleared the GRE. I'm very blessed with NUS, my course and my supportive supervisors, while Singapore offers a satisfactory worklife balance and inclusivity.
Likes (Value for money): My course is fully funded by the NUS Research Scholarship, which covers tuition and provides a stipend. I became a president assistant in campus housing, so I have my accommodation secured too. Apart from the initial fight ticket, I haven't had major expenses, which makes studying here very cost effective. I feel the value for money is excellent.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I come from Kerala, India and I could find authentic Kerala food, pretty far from NUS. Within my university, there is a mix of casual eateries, cafes and fast food chain. I generally prefer to eat outside as my course keeps me busy and not all housing allows full cooking facilities. For those very particular about food, learning quick cooking hacks can be helpful when living abroad.

Tips: I think I have been quite satisfied with everything I learned and all the people I got to know during my time at the university. My only advice would be to keep an open mind and be flexible with whatever opportunity that comes your way. Learn Italian to communicate with the locals and it will also enhance your ability to get a job if you speak fluent Italian. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): There are hardly any available opportunities for internships as Bologna is not very well connected as compared to other cities. There is more priority given to locals and the linguistic barrier becomes an added challenge, especially as an international student.

Interesting experience with lots of learning lesson.
Tips: I got to meet and interact with people from all over the world and that contributed to broadening my horizons and personality as well. Moreover, exploring Italy has been truly marvellous. If you decide to come here then make sure you realise that it is fundamentally different from cities like Milan and you'll need to understand basic Italian. People are warm so you shouldn't have a hard time setting in.

Great university with great and helpful faculty.
Tips: Students should know that the college is historic and it will really bring out the creative side of you even if you feel you do not have one. The food is great except you might get limited options for Indian food. The transportation facility is great so you should explore the scenic mountains as well if you are studying in Bologna.

Tips: The job market in the present day is a mess and so is the economy. You will really need to take advantage of whatever opportunity you can get where again you won't be prioritised. Come for the exposure and if immigration is your motive then Italy might give you a better chance than other European countries.

Tips: It is important to remember that the campus is more towards the countryside of Italy as compared to places like Milan so you will have to adjust according.

Fun and learning in an open environment
Tips: I have finalised my transition, by joining university activities and university extra activities. But it takes time and patience. There are some lonely times. I didn't avail of any scholarships. I was quite satisfied with my university, course and country.
Likes (Public transportation): It is well organised and it connects almost all the campuses. There is an intermodal type of transportation. Public transportation is affordable and there are conventions with the subscription for students with a low ISEE (in proportion to your income).
Dislikes (Part time work): The availability of on-campus part-time jobs is not popular. I cannot recall any off-campus opportunities. It is not that easy to manage the part-time work along with the academics because there are work and university hours overlapping. 500-600 euros per month for a part-time work.
