Admission to universities in Singapore
Want to get an education in Singapore, but are confused about how it works? To start studying in this country after the 9th, 10th, 11th grade is quite real. In addition, students of Russian universities have the opportunity to transfer to universities in Singapore.
We will help you learn all about education in Singapore and various educational opportunities in this Asian country, regardless of your age and academic experience!
Singapore Education System
The Singapore education system is different from the Russian one. Getting a secondary education here takes 12 years, instead of Russian 11 years. Thus, it is impossible to enter a Singapore higher education institution, having only a Russian school certificate on hand.
On the one hand, this somewhat complicates the process of entering universities in Singapore. On the other hand, a convenient system has been created in the country that allows foreigners to continue their education at local universities.
In order to enter Singapore University, a Russian student must complete an additional pre-university curriculum in the country. The duration of such training depends on the age of the student and the number of completed school classes.

Studying in Singapore after grade 9
If you intend to start studying in Singapore after graduating from the 9th grade of a Russian school, you will need to take the O-Level (Cambridge General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level) curriculum. This program prepares 9th grade foreign graduates to continue their education in Singapore.
The O-Level program lasts 16 months and is designed for students who have not attended school in Singapore public schools. Under this program, students study two compulsory subjects (English and mathematics) and 3 subjects to choose from.
In order to enroll in the O-Level program, you must submit a certificate of completion of 9 classes of the school and an IELTS certificate (minimum 4.5 points). To be enrolled, the student must be a full 15 years.
After the end of the program, a certificate is issued with which you can continue your education in Singapore or another country with a similar education system.
Studying in Singapore after Grade 10
Despite the fact that in Russian schools the 10th grade is traditionally not a graduation class, students who graduate from 10th grade can continue their education in Singapore.
For graduates of 10th grade in Singapore, an A-level curriculum is provided (Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Advanced Level).
To enroll in the program, the student must be full 16 years old. In addition, you must submit a certificate of completion of 10 classes of the school and an IELTS certificate.
Training under the program lasts 4 months, after which a certificate is issued with which you can continue your education in Singapore under the Foundation program.
Studying in Singapore after grade 11
To enter the University of Singapore after the 11th grade of the school, you need to undergo a one-year study under the University Foundation program. This program leads to a certificate corresponding to a 12-year education, and prepares a student for admission to the first bachelor's degree. It also needs to be passed to students who have started their studies in Singapore after the 9th or 10th grade.
The Foundation program is designed for 7-10 months, depending on the educational institution. The main goal of the program is the academic preparation of the student, adaptation in the country of study and improving the level of English language proficiency. In other words, the program graduates students who meet university entry requirements. Depending on the educational institution that offers the Foundation program, the program may be oriented towards preparing students for study at a university in a particular specialization.
A student must be at least 17 full years old to enroll in the program. In addition, it is necessary to submit a school certificate (certificate of completion of 11 classes of the school), as well as an IELTS certificate (minimum 5.5 points).
After completing the Foundation program, a student can apply for admission to a selected university in Singapore for an undergraduate program. In this case, in most cases, you will need to pass additional exams, an interview or testing for knowledge of the English language.
