As part of our continuous effort to explore meaningful education opportunities for Indian students, we at U2CAN recently had the privilege of visiting two premier institutions in Singapore—PSB Academy and James Cook University (JCU).
Our experience reaffirmed why Singapore is becoming a top study destination for students from across Asia, especially India.
Let us take you through our visits and share key takeaways, while also highlighting why Singapore is an excellent choice for higher education.
PSB Academy – A Pioneer in Private Education
With a rich legacy spanning over six decades and more than 200,000 alumni, PSB Academy has established itself as one of Singapore’s leading private education institutions.
We were warmly welcomed by Mr. Sidharth from the PSB team, who took us on a detailed campus tour. It was impressive to witness a multicultural academic environment, where students from different parts of Asia study together, embracing cultural diversity and global perspectives.
PSB Academy has three state-of-the-art campuses, and during our visit, we learned about their upcoming Cathay Campus, which will further expand their already impressive infrastructure. The institution offers a wide range of programs including certificates, diplomas, degrees, and short-term skill-based courses, catering to a broad spectrum of academic and career aspirations.
Located near Singapore’s iconic Merlion Park, PSB offers the perfect blend of academic excellence and vibrant city life—making it a very attractive destination for Indian students looking for value, safety, and opportunity.
James Cook University (JCU) – A Global Learning Experience
Our next stop was the James Cook University campus in Singapore, the only overseas campus owned and operated by JCU Australia. Established in 2003, JCU Singapore offers internationally accredited programs with a strong focus on research, innovation, and industry relevance.
We had a very informative discussion with Ms. Gayathri, who briefed us about the popular programs offered and the unique advantages that JCU provides to international students. Some of their top programs include:
- Business
- Information Technology
- Psychology
- Environmental Science
- Tourism & Hospitality
- Commerce & Accounting
- Games Design
- Aquaculture
The Sims Drive campus is truly world-class—featuring lecture halls, seminar rooms, computer labs, a financial trading lab, library, student lounges, and even an aquaculture research and teaching facility. The infrastructure is designed to give students not just theoretical knowledge but also practical exposure, making them job-ready from day one.
Walking through the halls, one could feel the focus on quality education, student well-being, and future-focused learning.
Why Study in Singapore? Key Benefits for Indian Students
Beyond the excellence of individual institutions like PSB and JCU, Singapore as a destination offers a range of advantages for Indian students:
1. Global Recognition, Asian Accessibility
Singaporean universities are internationally ranked and maintain high academic standards, yet are located close to India. This means students can access world-class education without going too far from home.
2. Multicultural and Safe Environment
Singapore is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and traditions. Indian students find it relatively easy to adapt, with a large Indian diaspora, vegetarian food options, and a welcoming atmosphere.
3. Shorter Courses, Better ROI
Many programs in Singapore—especially at institutions like JCU—are designed to be completed faster than their Western counterparts, offering a better return on investment in terms of time and money.
4. Industry Exposure and Internships
Being a global business hub, Singapore offers plenty of internship and job opportunities in sectors like IT, finance, hospitality, logistics, and environmental science. Many institutions have strong industry tie-ups, improving job readiness.
5. Simple Visa Process and Travel Access
Singapore’s student visa process is relatively simple, with faster approvals and minimal hurdles. The country is also well-connected by direct flights from major Indian cities, making travel convenient.
