How to Study Abroad in Singapore
Locations
Singapore lies below the west area of Malaysia and is made up of a main island and more than 60 islands and inlets. With endless Chinese shophouses, smoky temples, and skyscrapers, your time in your Singapore study abroad program will be a whirlwind full of adventures. Here are the best places to study abroad in Singapore.
Singapore City. The “Lion City” or the “Little Red Dot” offers malls for you to shop until you drop, ancient rainforests for you to discover Greater Racket-tailed Drongos, and chilli-spiked crab and other dishes to tingle your tastebuds. Here you can stroll through the Botanic Gardens to take your mind off your studies, hop on a bumboat to explore the island, and take pics of art in converted colonial barracks. You can enjoy a full tropical experience and take advantage of a year-round sunny climate with activities such as windsurfing, wakeboarding, and overnight biking excursions.
The city’s most popular beach, the East Coast Park, stretches more than nine miles and is a favorite destination for international students looking for fun outdoor activities and an exciting nightlife. From enjoying a picnic to feeling the sea breeze to playing volleyball with your classmates, this park offers a gateway to fun, and with a view of the cityscape and anchored boats, you’ll be glad you stopped by.
Singapore’s buildings artfully combine colonial and contemporary styles of architecture. The century-old Raffles Hotel is an iconic colonial-era structure. There are also the uniquely Singaporean Esplanade and the ultra modern Marina Bay Sands. This may be the only country where you never have to worry about stepping on chewing gum. From the sidewalks to the public bathrooms, the level of general cleanliness here is truly rare.
Subjects
In Singapore, the culture puts an extremely high value on education. Singapore’s world-leading educational system has gained a reputation for being top notch and globally competitive. We surveyed students and here are the most popular subjects to study in Singapore.
Health. For those who are looking to pursue a graduate degree in biology and medicine, study abroad Singapore programs offer valuable global viewpoints. Covering a variety of fields from cancer to behavior disorders to stem cell biology, you’ll gain advanced training from experienced professionals firsthand.
Business. Not only can you learn about business, but you’ll see it happen live in the skyscrapers and business centers. With its sound economy and political stability, multinational corporations are drawn to Singapore. You’ll also have the opportunity to take economics and finance classes in tandem with business.
Liberal Arts. Whether you’re looking to study communications, politics, photography, travel & tourism, visual arts, and more, you can also look into taking Singapore study abroad programs in the summer to earn credits in these fields as well. You won’t just be reading from textbooks here, you’ll be exploring the culture and learning about the diverse ethnicities here that call Singapore home.
Costs
The cost of living in Singapore is quite high, comparable to New York City. Eat slurpable noodles and pink rose drinks at the street food stalls, or Hawker stands, to tip the balance back in your favor. Your program fee will put the biggest dent in your pocketbook, next to only your international flights.
To help cover the expenses for your Singapore study abroad program, consider looking into scholarships in Singapore and requesting help from friends and family via FundMyTravel.
Student Housing
What types of housing are available for students in Singapore? Generally, you can choose to stay with a host family or in an apartment/flat while you’re on your Singapore study abroad program. If you’d like to stay in an apartment alone or with other students, monthly rents are between $1500 to $3000.
However, with a host family, you’ll immerse yourself in the culture, and you’ll learn the ins and outs of the daily life of a Singapore citizen as you taste some homemade meals and learn more about traditions, customs, and etiquette.
Student Visas
If you plan on studying in Singapore for less than 90 days, you’ll just need a passport that is valid for six months beyond your departure date. If you plan to study longer, you’ll need to apply for a student pass, which involves an approval letter, your passport, passport-sized photos, a medical report, and other documents. Feel free to reach out to your program coordinator for assistance with obtaining a student pass or check out GoAbroad’s Embassy Directory for more assistance.
Travel Tips
The prestige of good education of studying abroad in Singapore comes with a price — it requires that you tackle your studies with vigor like the local students. Be ready to mingle with fellow students who are serious about learning.
You won’t have to worry much about dangerous situations — Singapore is famed for having one of the lowest crime rates in the world. While violent crimes against visiting students are rare, watch out for pickpocketing and theft at tourist destinations.
From chowing down on fragrant laksa to sashaying down alleys, you’ll make unforgettable memories while you study in Singapore and meander through its myriad cultural influences.

Great time in Kunming
October 28, 2026by: Josephine Hop - NetherlandsMy time studying in Kunming so far has been one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. Especially with my great teacher. Everyone at Ltl has made me feel very welcome and I have been able to experience many amazing things.
So glad you've had a great time in Kunming, Josephine :) We loved having you here with us and are happy your experience matched your expectations!! LTL Team
Helen is great
October 27, 2026by: Martina G - ItalyI joined the school program for two weeks. Helen was our teacher, and she is so funny and good at translating local slang. We had five students in that group and all of us loved her. We didn't expect a young teacher could be very professional and patient but she was amazing.
Two weeks just go too quick, Martina :) But we still had a great time! Keep up the great work. Thanks for your lovely words. LTL Team
missed Beijing
October 27, 2026by: Artion Amoroso - ItalyWe joined the Beijing trip this spring, and i really miss the feeling there! Everyday's classes with friendly and funny teacher, chinese local food differed each day, cultural challenges with locals! I also bought a mini mahjong set back home!
Love to hear it, Artion, we miss you too. Come back and let's do it all again :) LTL Team

enjoyed LTL
October 27, 2026by: Maurizio B - ItalyThe goal of my trip to China, beyond studying the language, was to get to know the small part of the country that I visited. Anya helped me a lot to manage the practical aspects, guided me in choosing places to see, and encouraged me to try new things in Xi'an(as street food f.e). Thank you.
Thanks so much Maurizio :) We're so glad you had a blast with us. Hope to see you again and thanks for the lovely words. LTL Team
booked a one-week intensive beginner’s course.
October 26, 2026by: Hector R - GermanyI booked a one-week intensive beginner’s course. It was really worth it and I do feel it did push me to improve a lot. My teachers (Sara in the morning and Lilia in the afternoon) were very supportive, made the class interesting and challenging. And this with a lot of humor and charm. The school has as well organized activities which you can join eg roasted duck dinner, and there is always someone to have a chat or ask for help to navigate Beijing.
Love to hear it, Hector :) We equally had a blast teaching you as well. Come back again soon for more Beijing Duck!! LTL Team

Why Beijing and LTL
October 25, 2026by: 景龙 李 - United StatesMy Mandarin Immersion Journey, Deciding to pack up and spend three months ago immersing myself in Mandarin was a massive milestone. As a guy from the US looking to move past casual apps and textbook phrases into actual fluency, choosing the right destination and school was everything. After weighing my options, I settled on Beijing as my home base and LTL Mandarin School as my academic launching pad. Looking back at my time there from a couple of months removed, I can say without hesitation it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you are on the fence about where to study and which school to trust, here is an unfiltered look at why Beijing and LTL hit every single mark. Why Beijing? The Gold Standard for Mandarin. When people debate where to study Chinese in China, cities like Shanghai or Shenzhen often get pitched for their ultra-modern, Westernized vibes. But if your core goal is mastering the language, Beijing is the undisputed birthplace of standard Mandarin (Putonghua). Choosing Beijing meant that every time I stepped out of the classroom—whether ordering street food, chatting with a Didi driver, or navigating a park—I was surrounded by clear, crisp, standard pronunciation. There is no heavy southern dialect or alternate regional slang to muddle your learning curve here. The city speaks the textbook. Immersing yourself in Beijing forces your ear to adapt to authentic, correct Mandarin naturally, shortening your learning timeline dramatically. Location and Commuting. Dawanglu LTL Beijing is strategically situated right in the heart of the city’s Central Business District at Dawanglu metro station ). For a student, this location is an absolute game-changer. The Dawanglu transportation conveniences made my daily routine effortless. The school is just a short, second-long walk from the Dawanglu subway station, which sits on major intersecting lines. Getting across Beijing—whether heading to historic sites like the Forbidden City, meeting friends in Sanlitun, or exploring the hutongs—was seamless and fast. You never have to worry about getting stranded in a remote suburb; you are plugged straight into the pulse of the capital. Price-Friendly and Value Studying abroad can easily break the bank, but Beijing offers a surprisingly price-friendly structure relative to the immense value you receive. When you factor in professional, certified native teachers, small group dynamics (which ensure you actually get speaking time rather than sitting silently in a lecture hall of thirty), also found my Chinese name 李景龙, Chinese dragon represents noble personality and foresights, all-inclusive materials, the ROI is exceptional. Daily life in Beijing also scales to fit your budget—you can find high-end dining or incredible, cheap local noodle shops right outside the Dawanglu complex, making it easy to manage living expenses over a prolonged stay. My fav place is downstairs of skp shopping mall where I can find almost the cuisine all over the world. Staff Interaction and Community What truly sets LTL apart from a standard institutional academy is the human element. From day one, the staff Linda, and Alessandra , the interaction felt less like dealing with administration and more like joining a welcoming community. The teachers are rigorous, highly professional, and genuinely invested in your progress, pushing you just enough to break past your comfort zone while keeping classes fun and engaging. Outside of lessons, the school fosters an inclusive social environment with regular cultural activities, lunches, and events. As a foreigner landing in China, having a bilingual support team that helps you sort out local logistics—from mobile apps to setting up your routine—takes away all the initial friction. Two months at LTL Beijing completely transformed my relationship with the Chinese language. Between the unmatched linguistic purity of Beijing, the central, transit-friendly hub of Dawanglu, and a supportive, cost-effective framework, it provides an ideal ecosystem for any serious learner. If you want a school that challenges you, surrounds you with standard Mandarin, and feels like a community rather than a factory, LTL Beijing is the place to be.
It sounds like Beijing really became home! We're thrilled the Dawanglu location, the standard Mandarin and the small classes all worked so well for you. Linda and Alessandra will love reading this. Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and helpful review for other learners. Keep up the great work studying Mandarin and we hope to see you again some day! LTL Team
LTL Chengdu-- a Great Experience
October 24, 2026by: Philip Calvert - CanadaI'd highly recommend LTL Chengdu for a Mandarin learning experience. I had three weeks of one-on-one learning at the intermediate level with teacher Guo Xinyue, and she was excellent. I learned a lot, and we also managed to have great conversations aabout society,history, social issues, families and so on, turning these conversations into opportunities to learn more vocabulary. The school is well-run, with a friendly atmosphere, and Chengdu is a very pleasant city, especially in October.
Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Mandarin. Chengdu in October will be waiting if you come back some day! LTL Team
Beijing always
October 23, 2026by: Jess E - GermanyI chose Beijing as my mandarin studying location which was one of the best decisions I made! Not justbecause of the transportation for every day courses and activities. Also, this city is very friendly to all kinds of foreigners no matter how fluently Mandarin you can speak with them or just gestures haha! Great arrangement for my classes where I studied new words, practice oral dialogues, or even chat with teacher to know local life’s…
Getting by with Mandarin or just a few gestures and a smile, that's the Beijing spirit! We're thrilled you chose the city and enjoyed chatting with your teachers about local life. Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Chinese! LTL Team

big recommendation
October 22, 2026by: Anna L - GermanyI had such a wonderful experience at the LTL language school! I spent two weeks learning Mandarin, with group classes in the morning with Summer and private lessons with Alice afterwards. Summer and Alice were both amazing teachers, very kind, patient and encouraging. Summer made the group classes engaging and fun, while Alice always adapted the private lessons perfectly to my level and had a great way of explaining things and making them easy to understand. Both created such a warm and positive atmosphere. I learned so much in only two weeks and genuinely looked forward to class every day. Highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn Mandarin!
Looking forward to class every single day after only two weeks is amazing!! We're thrilled to hear that! Summer and Alice will both love reading this, and we'll make sure they see your kind words. Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Mandarin! LTL Team
I achieved my goals
October 20, 2026by: Pat Burrows - AustraliaI spent four weeks at LTL school in Beihai. The school is very flexible according to your needs. They will teach HSK courses, just simple spoken language, or help you improve in the direction you choose. I have been learning mandarin for 3 years and wanted the opportunity to use the language and improve my listening skills. In my time at LTL, I was immersed in Chinese from the day I arrived. My fluency and listening skills improved a lot. I go home with a good understanding of where I need to focus next. I hope to return next year to solidify my further improvement.
Thanks for your kind words, Pat. It was great to have you with us in Beihai :) Hope you keep improving back home! Come back some day. LTL Team

It was so much fun, Eva!! It was great having you in Beijing with us. Lunch is always better shared together, we agree!! Come back again :) LTL Team
An amazing time in Chengdu!
October 10, 2026by: Alex Pan - United StatesI participated in a two week program at LTL Chengdu, and I had an amazing time while learning a lot! My instructor Wei was super friendly and dedicated, and I could not have imagined a better teacher. She tailored her instruction specifically to my goals and used real world situations to teach so I could have a more immersive and rich experience. Not only did my Chinese language skills improve, but I also learned a lot about the local culture, food, and lifestyle — things I could never get a chance to experience in a traditional classroom. I highly recommend LTL Chengdu and my teacher Wei!
So happy to hear it, Alex :) You made some great progress in a short amount of time. Keep it up back home and thanks for the kind words. LTL Team
My teachers
October 09, 2026by: Brandon Gregory - AustraliaI had a really great experience at this Chinese learning school! The teachers, especially Ann and Jamie, were amazing and genuinely helped me improve my Chinese. They were patient, encouraging and always willing to explain things when I didn’t understand. Their teaching made learning Chinese much more enjoyable, and I became a lot more confident in my speaking and understanding. You can tell that they really care about their students and want everyone to do well. I’m really grateful for all their help and would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to improve their Chinese!
Thanks for your kind words, Brandon. We're delighted you had a blast studying Chinese with us and we hope you continue to make improvements :) Come back some time soon. LTL Team
Experience in Beijing
October 05, 2026by: Karolina W - PolandI spent 4 weeks in Beijing and I had an amazing time. LTL staff is very professional and helpful, great people to talk to, especially if you want to practice your Chinese. Ms. Alice was my teacher and her lessons were pure pleasure. She always made sure that everyone in the classroom understood everything and had a chance to speak. She was also very encouraging and patient. The other students were also very friendly so the whole school vibe was really good. Overall, great place if you want to learn Chinese and have a good time both at once!
What a great four weeks it was, Karolina! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely story with us. Hope to see you back in China again soon :) Best wishes, LTL Team
