I didn't graduate from 2 1 1 engineering university, but I did well in college. Now I have two years' working experience in the head office of a joint-stock commercial bank, and I want to apply for a postgraduate degree in national finance in Singapore.
When applying for graduate students at the National University of Singapore, there are the following points to be noted:
1. Is the IELTS score ok? Is it at least 7 or above? Do you still need to take GMAT?
IELTS 6 is the minimum standard for graduate students. If you are applying for a scholarship, it is best to score more than 7 points. Of course, you have to bring GMAT. Otherwise, how can I apply for my own postgraduate major?
2. Who should I write a recommendation letter to? University teacher, work unit?
It is better to have both letters. The teacher's letter can highlight your study habits and research potential, and the unit's letter should show that you have good team spirit and achievements during your work.
3. Is it possible to apply for a scholarship in my case? Look at some places on the internet that say there are scholarships, while others say there are only student loans. I don't understand.
It is a little more difficult for finance majors to apply for scholarships than for science and engineering majors. I think it's a little more important than literature, but most of the graduate students can get scholarships. Scholarships are established by schools or social organizations, and grants are issued by the government. Students in public schools can get a grant, which is 70% of the tuition fee, but as a condition, you must stay in Singapore for at least 3 years and work. There is basically no need to apply for a student loan to get a scholarship or grant. At the postgraduate stage, the scholarships of public universities in Singapore can be said to be one of the best in the world, which is quite rich.
4. Are there many opportunities to stay in a new job after graduate school? I heard that there are many financial institutions in Singapore, so it is easier to find a job. Is that so?
As long as you apply for graduate students from NUS, you can definitely stay in Singapore in the future. When you graduate, the government will send invitations to foreign students in public universities, inviting them to apply for permanent residence. This condition is very generous. The financial industry can be regarded as a pillar industry in Singapore, with many employment opportunities. In fact, I don't know why Singapore has been short of talents. I always see that it has never stopped since it was launched. It is much easier to find a job in Singapore than in China, provided that you have goods in your stomach.
In addition, it is said that Singapore is more difficult to apply than European and American schools. Any suggestions? Which is easier for Singapore to apply than Hong Kong University?
In fact, the admission requirements of NUS are much lower than those of universities in Europe, America and Australia, but because of this, NUS and NTU have a large number of applicants every year, so the competition is fierce. HKU's business is also very good, but it is still very advantageous for the business school of NUS to be the top business school in Asia. It is estimated that it is easier to apply to the Hong Kong Parliament.
Don't trust Singapore Management University. Although it is a public university, due to the size of the school, the annual enrollment is small and it is difficult to apply. Its business is much worse than that of NUS and Nanyang Technological University.
