Top 9 Advantages of Studying Overseas for Singaporeans

Studying overseas or acquiring overseas education may be one of the most exciting experiences for a college student. Here is our list of some compelling reasons to study abroad!

Polish your language skills

You might have good knowledge of the English language in schools. Now it’s time to polish it and learn new things. There are many top study overseas destinations, but most of them are English-speaking nations such as Australia, New Zealand or the US. In short, you can take your language skills to an advanced level by studying abroad in a top-ranked country.

It will look great on your CV

You will meet many such Singaporeans who have found a job of their choice on their preferred location just because of their international degrees. Studying abroad in a country like Australia or New Zealand will be an excellent decision to make an impression on employers.

Living and studying abroad is different to a holiday

You will get to experience your place of study in the long run. For instance, if you choose to study in Australia, you will come to know about the unique flora and fauna of the country, top coffee shops, the culture and much more very profoundly. You cannot, on the other, learn much about a nation when on holiday.

Make lifelong friends

You can’t love every single person you meet in life, but studying overseas allows you to make lifelong friends (if you are good at keeping in touch).

Meet a verity of people

Since thousands of students hailing from different parts of the world choose to study in countries like Australia and New Zealand, you can meet them and build your network of international friends.

Discover new cuisines

In case you are passionate about foods, you will have remarkable opportunity to taste new cuisines when studying overseas at an Australian or New Zealand University. You may love the Australian barbeque or New Zealand spaghetti.

Study and learn differently

Those studying abroad can experience an entirely new way of teaching. This may seem daunting, but this will open your mind and broaden your horizon to think differently.

Enjoy independence

Being independent may not seem easy, but it’s far better than living irresponsibly with your parents as a 20-something.

Learn self-reliance

Moving and studying overseas can be the ultimate test of self-reliance. When you move back to your country, you will likely rely less on others and will take more responsibility for yourself.
