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.

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.

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.
