International Students

We welcome international students, as they add to the richness and diversity of the intellectual culture. Our current graduate students come from outside Singapore, including China, India, Indonesia, Europe and other countries across the globe. 

The Student Affairs Office’s website has a great deal of information for international students arriving into Singapore for the first time. As you prepare for your way to Singapore, you may wish to check out some of the useful and relevant information here.
