LIVING AND WORKING IN
SINGAPORE


The campus is located just 20 minutes away from downtown Singapore, in a residential neighbourhood surrounded by lush greenery and nature.

Mixing together a mass of different cultures, cuisines and architectural styles, Singapore is studded with vast showpiece constructions to complement its colonial-era hotels and buildings.

Cutting-edge tourist developments continue to spring up.

Shopping avenues and underground malls throb with life, as do the food courts, the riverside bars and the temple-dotted outlying neighbourhoods.

Singapore is a very safe, clean, friendly place and ideal for a first time expat and being so close to other countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia means it's cheap and easy to travel overseas.
