Singapore, widely known among its multicultural and multinational residents as the Little Red Dot, has made its mark on the world with many top accolades.

There are countless reasons to love this garden city, from its well-structured urban planning, to its fast-paced economic development, and its status as one of the safest countries in the world.

Education has played a key role in the rise of this tiny island nation, and the Government of Singapore continues to place a great emphasis on it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Singapore’s universities are among some of the most highly ranked and well-regarded in the world. One of its most well-known is the National University of Singapore (NUS), which has been consistently ranked among the top three universities in Asia since 2013.

With the coronavirus pandemic restricting international travel and disrupting global higher education, tertiary-bound students planning to study abroad have had to reconsider their options. For many, Singapore comes out on top.
