All About Overseas Education

[newbieks]

During PY’s time in EDB, many scholars were sent to do science related degrees in top UK uni, end up maybe many become civil servants…

(Pharmacy is another degree which is way under-respected in Singapore. Many of the local pharmacy grads I know migrated overseas & earning very well over there.)

Looking back, would you still study science for interest, or choose to study something else with better prospects?

My interests (and abilities) were very strongly in Bio, so good question. I might have chosen to read Law instead, but nah, still can’t picture myself bearing with the whole course (there are certain aspects like criminal law which I don’t care for).

Oh and by the way, my parents were the ones who told me don’t bother spending the time & effort upgrading to PhD: “It will make a girl less marriageable!” And delay the appearance of grandchildren even further lol.

It probably depends on the course. I expect these should be detailed on the university's website for each course?

Hi slmkhoo,


Thanks for your reply! Have taken a look at the website but they did not mention anything about admission test so wondering if there is any test.

It depends on the course.

You can search the course using the following link:

For example, Computing requires online admission test

All the best.

Do UK boarding schools strictly implement their lights out policy? Many schools state that lights out is at 10pm even for the senior boys/girls. Would they off the wifi as well I wonder…


So UK students really sleep so early until many of our nocturnal teens here?
