What are the advantages and disadvantages of studying in Singapore and Australia?
Advantages:

1. With the support of the Singapore government, students with excellent academic performance can also get government scholarships.

The Singapore Ministry of Education recruits new students from famous universities in China every year. After several procedures, such as the selection examination and the interview of officials from the Ministry of Education of China and Singapore, I obtained a scholarship from the Ministry of Education of Singapore and the Science and Technology Group to study in Singapore. It is said that in addition to the tuition fees provided by the Ministry of Education and sponsoring enterprises, college students of this nature also receive various living allowances of S $7,700 (about US$ 4,400) per year. The only condition is that you need to stay in your new job for three years after graduation. If you are studying for a master's degree or a doctor's degree in Singapore, there is no requirement for years of service to get a scholarship.

Disadvantages:

First, the reality is not as good as imagination, and the contrast is great.

At present, most people in China have a very good impression of Singapore, such as picturesque environment, good national quality and the use of both Chinese and English. However, there is always a gap between reality and imagination, so many China students are very disappointed when they arrive in Singapore. In fact, understanding a country cannot be achieved overnight.

The advantages of studying in Australia are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. The study abroad policy is relaxed: the visa success rate is relatively high. According to the statistics released by Australia in recent years, the success rate of domestic students applying for Australian student visas has reached more than 60%.

2. Australia welcomes skilled immigrants and students studying in Australia, and it is easier to obtain legal immigration status.

Australia has a mature education system, and her diploma has been unanimously recognized by many countries, including China. Many Australian universities have ranked in the top international rankings over the years 100.

Among English-speaking countries, the number of international students in Australia ranks third after the United States and Britain. For the nationals of many developing countries, Australia has become the first choice for studying abroad.

Compared with the United States and Britain, the annual cost of studying in Australia is slightly cheaper.

6. Australia allows students to work. The Australian Immigration Bureau stipulates that international students can work 20 hours a week, including full-time work in winter and summer vacations (3 months in summer vacation and 0/month in winter vacation). International students can solve their living expenses by working. Part-time jobs can also help students get in touch with society earlier, improve their English level and hone their will, thus improving their comprehensive competitiveness.

7. Australia has a mild climate and beautiful environment. Among them, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth were all rated as "the most livable cities" by the United Nations.

8. The extremely low crime rate ensures the life safety of international students.

Disadvantages, the current appreciation of the Australian dollar has caused a slight increase in the cost of studying abroad. Want to consult more, get the 2022 study abroad white paper for free.
