Why Study or Work In Singapore
*
With a population where more than one out of four persons is a foreigner, Singapore has been ranked no.1 in attracting top-flight global talent in a first-ever study of economies with a population of under 20 million, conducted by the Swiss-based International Institute for Management Development (IMD). This makes Singapore the ideal breeding ground for talent and education, due to which leading universities across the world have set up international campuses in Singapore, offering international degrees at almost half of the overseas tuition fee.
*
More than 6,000 companies from around the world have set up base in Singapore, thus students often find it possible to build lucrative careers here after completing their education. Singapore has been consistently ranked as one of the most competitive nations and best place for businesses in the world.

It is apparent how Singapore earned its reputation as the Garden City. Generous pockets of lush gardens and tropical greenery co-exist with an urban landscape. While the smaller islands around serve as idyllic playgrounds for sea sports, Singapore, being only a few hours away from other countries in Asia, becomes ideal for travelers interested in this region. A variety of Spas, shopping malls, carnivals and the world's highest observation wheel (The Singapore Flyer – will be completed by 2005), all make student-life in Singapore exciting as well as enjoyable.
