Affordable Education Abroad: Malaysia and Singapore
December 1st, 2009Author: adminIn Malaysia there are 4 types of institutions providing higher education. These are international Universities, local public University, Private Universities, and about 500 PHEIS (Public Higher Educational Institutions).The Systematic Educational Group of Colleges manages 8 PHEIS. Systematic’s major objective is to give training to high school leavers for the future career in Business, Accounting, Computing, Marketing, Banking, management, secretarial and Commerce as well as industry. Systematic has turned out world-class students in such professional courses as LCCI, ACCA, ICSA, CIMA, CIMA, ABE plus CIM. One reason why foreign students should choose getting their education in Malaysia is that holders of student permit or pass are allowed to have jobs when studying to support their living.
Singapore has the educational system that is similar to the UK one. At Tertiary level it provides 3 Universities plus 7 other educational establishments affiliated to local and international Universities, plus 4 polytechnics. The full-time university enrollment is roughly 40,000, of which about 20,000 are female. Also, tuition fees of overseas students are typically 10 percent more than that for local students. Tuition counts on the subject you take. Such specialised disciplines as dentistry and medicine cost much more than that of law, humanities, and science. Medicine goes for between $10,000/session: law, humanities, social science go for between $6000 for bachelor’s degree. Singapore government highly finances its higher education by means of the tuition grant. In case after graduation you cannot afford to disburse your loan, then you will need to work a year or two to pay your balance.
