About Singapore

The story of Singapore is rich with twists, turns and triumphs. Some refer to her as the “little red dot”, but Singapore's presence in the world today is larger than that moniker. In fact, Singapore is a bustling cosmopolitan city. Take a good look around and you’ll see a wide spectrum of cultural diversity in Singapore, most evident at the many places of worship. The rich heritage of Singapore is also evident in the wealth of food choices.

Term date

  • Host Institutions usually organize orientation activities for exchange students, with some mandatory, which take place 1-2 weeks before the start of the term. You should refer to the acceptance package and pay attention to the expected arrival or pick-up dates specified by your host institution.
