Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Batch of 2027

4.3

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.

Master of Computing - Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2025

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.

NUS BBA - Batch of 2029

Rigorous, global and opportunity rich experience at NUS.

Tips: NUS is highly competitive academically. At beginning it will be quite overwhelming and would be tough to adjust to the environment. But gradually you will start liking the campus, the people, and the country as a whole. Singapore is a great country to study in and you would love to be here.

NUS BBA - Batch of 2027

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.

Master of Laws (LLM) - Batch of 2019

4.1

Singapore is a brilliant place to study.

Tips: The course was relatively new when I joined as I was a part of the 2nd or 3 batch. I actually finished the course in 2013 and am now running my own law firm along with two others. Singapore is a brilliant place to study and live. The best part about the university is the diversity. I had friends from both sides of the pond. Europe, the Americas and other Asian countries. I would advise any student wanting to study outside to definitely consider Singapore as an option.

4.2

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.
