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.

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.

Master of Arts (Arts and Cultural Entrepreneurship) - Batch of 2025

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.

Safe and secure country.
Tips: Need to learn about ASEAN culture as Singapore is dominated by ASEANs. There are minimal/negligible scholarship opportunities for Indian students. Singapore offers amazing food with multiple cuisines. There are less vegetarian options available on campus.

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.
