Students would be best to learn the complicated task of saving while living in Singapore.

A 2018 report that was shared amongst students, was shared online that showed why students chose to study in Singapore. The main collective reason was based on the excellent quality that their higher education programs provided. Even with a very large population of students, the higher education institutions had a great routine of providing need resources and student care.

Cost of Tuition

For example, cost of university fees for international students who complete a university education, expect to pay between S$46,000 to S$75,000, or a total average of S$60,500.

Languages Spoken in Singapore

Languages spoken in Singapore include Malay, Tamil, English, and Mandarin Chinese. There are the four main languages spoken the most in Singapore. International students would do better while living in this country to learn Malay or Tamil since they are more widely used than English.

Most likely international students will be given a Malay proficiency exam to see how much of the language they do understand and are able to communicate. Since some programs are taught in Malay this is important so the student doesn’t end up in a program where they don’t understand the language.
