Why Study Abroad

See the world, experience a new culture, dive into a world-class education – and prepare for your global future. Nothing beats the immersive international experience you’ll get while studying abroad. Here are just a few of the advantages of choosing international study.

  1. Start your career off on the right foot:  Graduates who’ve chosen to study internationally are highly sought after by employers. Pursuing a degree overseas signals to employers that you have courage, flexibility, cultural awareness and an understanding of how other people work and think. This will really put you ahead of the pack when it comes to internships and job applications. 
  1. From learning a language to living a language:  Studies have shown that being surrounded by a language is the best way to become fluent and to understand the local culture. You’ll be surrounded by English language speakers every day and seeing and hearing the language in the local cultural context.  Living, studying and working in English can be challenging at first, but you’ll be surprised at how quickly it becomes second nature. Communicating confidently in English will help you to excel in your studies and meet new friends from other parts of the world who could even become professional connections down the road. 
  1. Diverse choice of courses:  Expanding your options to consider overseas study opens up a world of new educational opportunities. ARIEL partners with more than 600 high-quality universities and schools across the world; whatever you are looking for – from a course that is highly ranked for research to a unique study environment – we can help find the best fit for you. 
 

Why Singapore?

Education System

Singapore has four national universities. Then there are polytechnics which offer tertiary education through diploma courses, which are practical courses with plenty of group work. Diplomas are offered in Tourism, Biotechnology, Digital Media, Engineering, Business Studies, Mass Communications, Accountancy, and Hospitality Management. 
For international students, Indian Standard Class 12 mark sheet acts as the qualifier for entry into undergraduate courses, whether it is CBSE, ISCE or State boards.
Admissions are based on academic merit as well as competition among all eligible applicants. In addition to fulfilling admission requirements for the international student category, Indian students are also required to fulfill the subject prerequisites for the courses which they are applying for. For example, if you are looking for admission in Business Administration, then you need to have passed Mathematics in your 12th standard or at some other higher level.
 
Or if you are considering civil engineering, then you need to have passed Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry at least at the school level.
 
College Fit: At the higher education level, students have a wide range of options when they choose a college or university. Although there are agencies that attempt to place colleges and universities in rank order, the concept of “fit” is also important. The GPA* of admitted students are important, but majors offered, location, number of students enrolled, and campus culture are all factors in a prospective student’s decision.
 
Safety in Singapore: Singapore has a well-deserved reputation for being safe and relatively crime-free. Major crimes like murder and rape, are dealt with severely and swiftly.
The government has also made it known that extremism originating from religion or race has no place in Singapore, and it will not hesitate to take action against any extremists or terrorist groups or individuals.
 
Weather: Singapore’s weather is warm and humid, ranging from an average of 31°C during the day and 24°C at night. It rains throughout the year with heavier rain during the monsoon season, which lasts from November to January.
 
Lifestyle tips
Singapore is a multi-cultural society where Malay, Chinese and Indian traditions coexist along with the western cosmopolitan outlook. According to the Asian cultural norms, older people are treated with respect. However, nowadays wealth and status are considered more important than age distinctions. A social superior or an authority is treated with formality and respect. Singaporeans claim they are an egalitarian society like the western countries, yet they have strong hierarchical relationships like those between parents and children, teachers and students, and employers and employees.
 
Indians living in Singapore
There were nearly 387,760 Indian immigrants living in Singapore in 2018. They represent 9.1 percent of the country’s population.
