Are you a student in Singapore with aspirations of pursuing higher education overseas?

Or just someone who wants to understand what your friend studying overseas is really going through?

Apart from pretty photos on Instagram.

Whether you're completing your Polytechnic, O/A/N Levels, or just graduated from the IB/IP Programme, the Overseas Education Expo happens this weekend, 5-6^th January 2024, at the Suntec Convention Centre.

A Gateway to Top-Ranked Universities

Even for local students, there might be a lot of recognised universities and programmes overseas that we might not even have heard of.

This is especially true for industry-related courses.

The fair brings together over 50 prestigious universities and colleges from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, providing a comprehensive platform for Singaporean students to explore a myriad of academic options.

From Law and Dentistry to Business, Biomedical Science, Computing, and beyond, the event caters to diverse interests and aspirations.

This means that no matter how niche you think your interests are, there’s likely a course out there that fits.

This is particularly beneficial for A-Level, IB, and Polytechnic students aiming for direct entry into bachelor's degree programs.

Tailored Pathways

For those who may not have followed a conventional academic path, the Expo can be your gateway in furthering your education in that direction.

The expo introduces Foundation programs tailored for O/N Level students, A-Level students facing challenges in qualifying for their desired universities, and even International Year 1 options.

These pathways act as stepping stones, allowing Singaporean students to progress to highly-ranked universities in less than a year.

Credit Exemptions and Scholarship Opportunities

If you’re a polytechnic student here, you’re also in luck.

You can make use of some of your prior academic achievements by offering credit exemptions, easing the transition into a bachelor's degree program.

Long story short, modules you’ve taken in poly might give you an advantage in uni.

Additionally, the event provides valuable insights into scholarship opportunities, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder Singaporean students' dreams of studying abroad.

For more details, you can enquire with the schools directly when you’re at the fair.

Education Counselling

The Expo is not just about exploring courses and universities; it is also an immersive experience with the support of a team of Senior Education Counsellors.

Since 2002, these experts have been assisting Singaporean students in mapping out personalized study plans.

Helping students understand what they can go for is literally their job.

From understanding entry requirements to navigating visa procedures and securing accommodation, their guidance ensures a smooth and informed transition to international education.

And of course, it's entirely FREE!

And of course, attending the fair and participating in activities there is entirely free of charge.

Yes, in a world with increasing costs and 9% GST, this is rare.

The event is fully funded by the participating universities, so you get to access invaluable resources and start investing in your future for free.

Networking Opportunities with Renowned Institutions

You usually only get one perspective when you go to a university open house.

However, at the fair you’ll meet not just a handful, but many representatives from 16 UK Russell Group Unis and numerous Group of 8 Australian Unis all under one roof!

It’s like meeting a representative from every major football league team.

In case you didn’t know, notable universities like Cambridge and Oxford are part of the Russell Group.

Apart from meeting university representatives directly, you’ll also get unique networking opportunities to interact directly with university officials, gaining firsthand insights into the academic culture, faculty, and campus life.
