I’m always perturbed why SG agents hv not arranged with overseas uni like those M’sia ties up with Australia to offer 2 + 1 where the student spend 2 years in Msia studying in a twining college & then go over to Australia to finish off in a year (minus holidays, winter abt 8-9 mths). There again quality of edn differs I suppose & one wld hv missed out the Int’l student community which I’ve benefitted fr & whenever I travelled on my job, I cld tap on their ground expert advice.


Also guess we can look at those who do Poly in SG, as many overseas uni now recognizes our Poly Diploma for 2 years credit. But u’ll still need to complete 2 years in an Aussie uni.

Aren’t there some? Like those foreign unversities which tie up with SIM, MDIS or PSB? And there are universities like James Cook as well. I haven’t looked recently, but I’m fairly sure quite a few of those tie-ups have options to do a year or so at the "home" campus.

1 year I find may be too short…guess when you go overseas it should be more than the cert ba…the experience etc…

I’m not sure the details of fees tho I wld expect poly credits are worthwhile if the family hv little extra cash. Those JCU, SIM, etc May hv to pay higher fees & no govt subsidies or bursary? No idea.

Also SG Campus exposure very different, esp the learning engagements & teaching style.

I think students of all faculties may apply to go on such overseas exchanges. Not all do, for various reasons, and it's not compulsory.

No subsidies or bursaries. And the exposure will be different from studying the whole course overseas, but would pretty much similar to the 2+1 yr programmes you mentioned earlier.
