Foundation courses are mainly designed for international students who need the pre-requisite knowledge to take up their major field of studies.

Diploma Course:

Diploma courses generally last for 1-2 years duration. They provide basic theoretical knowledge about the subject in focus. After studying diploma, a student can either choose to study a degree course or look for employment. By studying a diploma course, students also receive practical training making them industry ready. A degree however holds more importance and value compared to a diploma course.

Undergraduate courses differ from country to country in various different aspects:

Singapore- An Attractive Study Destination for Students

March 2019

Though Singapore is very small in size, the country has a booming and extremely stable economy. Singapore is counted among the top educational destinations in the world. Singapore offers a progressive education system with state-of-the-art facilities. The standard of education is excellent across all levels, starting right from the primary level. Apart from the public schools, Singapore also has 30+ international schools that follow the foreign education system for children of expatriates. The 5 autonomous universities of Singapore are ranked well globally and all other private institutes of higher education (PEIs) are regulated by the Council for Private Education (CPE.)

Singapore gets a lot of foreign investment because it has a skilled workforce, corruption-free society, low tax rates and well-developed infrastructure. The unemployment rate of the country is very low. Students choose Singapore as their study abroad destination because it has endless career opportunities. Apart from the international business investments, many reputed international universities have invested in Singapore.

Following are the reason for Singapore being an attractive study destination:-

No Language Barrier:

Singapore has a total of four national languages and English is one among them. Hence, language is not a problem here. It is quite easy and comfortable to get around in Singapore. International students can quickly adjust here because 75% of the country's population can speak English. Most importantly, the official language of education in Singapore is English. Therefore, international students don't feel alien here.

Moderate Climate:

Singapore has a tropical rainforest climate with no distinctive seasons. The temperature does not vary much and ranges from 22 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees. This moderate climate is conducive to living. It is a green city with the highest area under a cover of trees in spite of its urbanization. The moderate climate throughout the year makes it an attractive destination for students across the world.

Visa and Immigration:

International students wishing to study in Singapore will need to obtain a student visa. When you get your letter of approval, you will also be issued a visa by your institution. Within two weeks of your acceptance, you will need to apply to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) for a Student Pass. This also needs to be no earlier than two months and no later than one month before the start to your course. This process will be done through the Student’s Pass Online Application and Registration System (SOLAR). You will be given registration details by your institution, which you will use to fill in and submit the required forms. You will then need to complete the process once you have arrived in the country. To do this, you will need to make an appointment with the ICA and take with you the disembarkation/embarkation card that you were granted on entry to Singapore.

Standard of Living:

One of the areas where Singapore scores high is the standard of living. This is one of the reasons why expats from all over the world move to Singapore. In fact, Singapore is regarded as the easiest city to adjust in Asia, specifically for international students. Being home to a large number of foreigners, the well-known financial centre of Asia also offers a diverse background to international students.

Mixed Culture:

Singapore is a home to a variety of cultures. One is sure to experience different culture styles. It has a combination of Arab, Indian, Chinese and Malaysian cultures. Students get an opportunity to get exposed to and understand various cultures. This makes it easier for them to settle in the nation.

Student Testimonials:

Pre-plan your Expenses to Study Abroad

March 2019

Realising the importance of acquiring high and rich qualifications, an increasing number of candidates now wish to earn an overseas degree. While the cost of an education may seem overwhelming to some, one can still afford to study abroad without breaking the bank. It is also important to note that the cost of living, currency and tuition vary depending on the location and university of choice. The following aspects should be kept in mind when planning your expenses for an overseas education.

Scholarships:

Scholarships and other forms of financial aid are means of offsetting costs when studying abroad. While some scholarships provide partial assistance, there are others that cover tuition and living expenses. Applying early increases your chances of securing a scholarship. Take the time to scour for scholarships.

Exchange rates:

When looking to study overseas, the best way to get the most out of your home country's currency is to keep yourself updated with the latest rates. This will help you keep track of the amount you will be spending when overseas. Furthermore, Edwise has strong alliance with reputed foreign exchange dealers and ensures that students are offered best rates, along with the chance at an affordable education.

Credit cards:

Cashless forms of payment such as credit cards are widely accepted across countries and are useful for those initial expenses. When choosing a credit card, opt for one that has added benefits and allows for transactions at no hidden or additional costs. Often a credit card can be blocked if there are unusual purchase patterns, therefore it is important that you notify the credit card company of your travel plans before you set off for your education overseas.

Open a local bank account:

Opening a local bank account is a practical option for candidates who opt to study overseas. The reason being, money can be needed at any point of time for reasons small or big. Hence it is always wise to be prepared. A local account safeguards your finances, and allows for easy access to funds and payments without having to worry about exorbitant transaction and withdrawal fees. When choosing a bank, opt for one that fits in with your preferences.

Draw a Budget wisely:

Financial planning becomes very important once you start staying away from your home and that too in a foreign land. Managing expenses and saving money for unforeseen events in the future is of utmost importance. While everyone enjoys the thrill of experiencing life in a new country, it is important that you refrain from unnecessary buys. Creating weekly budgets, and listing items that you require on a monthly basis helps you prioritize your budget and spend wisely. It ensures a smooth and tension free stay.

Paying back your loan:

Student loans can differ in terms of interest rates and terms, and so it is important that you understand how your loan repayment plan works. There are various types of educational loans that are available to candidates at reasonable rates. Set up monthly payment plans to avoid late recurring charges. We at Edwise provide proper and detailed guidance on the various types of educational loans available, and will additionally provide you with an array of nationalized banks that offer loans to students at affordable rates.
