MSc Biotechnology - Batch of 2026
3.9
NUS was the perfect choice for a balance between safety abroad and quality education
Tips: I'm someone who has stayed in Singapore for a fair chunk of time before I returned here for my masters so there wasn't much transition for me. I think vegetarian food is a bit difficult to get, but indian food and groceries are easily available. Overall, the course was okay, I chose a research project that fit well with my interests, which made my degree worth it.
Likes (Public transportation): Honestly, Singapore is just incredible when it comes to getting around. The buses and trains are literally everywhere, and the signs are so clear you can't really get lost. Since the uni is right in the city, getting there is a breeze. They even have campus buses that make it super easy to hop between buildings or just get to and from the nearest MRT station without having to walk too far in the heat.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): I am more interested in computational Biology and I feel like a major limitation of my degree was that there weren't enough people who were qualified to teach dry-lab subjects. As a result, the course was skewed overall to cover more wet lab subjects.

Pretty diverse and welcoming campus.
Tips: Singapore is the best country for safety, and the campus is pretty good. Buses are running all the time, and it's safe to roam around and go around campus. Also, if you are living on the campus vs living outside, you get different privileges, so seek out early if you want to live on campus. NUS is a great university, and I did get scholarships from the MoE.
Dislikes (Part time work): Finding part-time work isn't easy in Singapore due to immigration status. Even internships are a little. Tough unless you are in the MEng, where you need to work with companies to work on your project. In general, the many options for internships are very limited.

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.

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.

National University of Singapore is better ranked at #1 in Singapore while University of Queensland is ranked at #5 in Australia but it offers 31 BBA courses for Indian students and NUS offers only 8 BBA courses.
