Meeting the need for postgraduate students to understand the workings of contemporary China, Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is offering a wide-ranging programme which covers key aspects of economic development, po-litical evolution and ongoing social change.

While giving the necessary historical perspective, the Master of Arts in Contemporary China (MACC) focuses on the forces now driving the world’s latest superpower and the impact being felt in Asia and around the world.

Designed as an interdisciplinary programme and taught in English by China specialists from NTU’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences and other faculties, the MACC has attracted a diverse mix of students since it was first introduced al-most 10 years ago. Each intake typically includes mid-career professionals from all walks of life ranging from lawyers, bankers and senior govern-ment officials to media personnel, engineers and entrepreneurs. With many coming from outside Singapore, this gives an international perspective

to classroom discussions and interactive seminars and, importantly, forms the basis for a strong alum-ni network after graduation.

Core courses deal with subjects such as the making of modern China, contemporary Chinese politics, and China’s economy in transformation. Others look at cross-Taiwan strait relations, the dynamics of investment in Greater China, and the mainland media. Students also choose electives from three different groups – society and culture, politics and international relations, and economy and business – enabling them to gain an in-depth appreciation of specific areas in line with their per-sonal or professional interests.

“Another highlight is the 10-day immersion trip which is mandatory for all students and included in the tuition fees,” says Kathryne Yew, Assistant Director of the MACC programme. “It involves vis-its to parts of China other than the well developed cities to give students a better understanding of local government operations and policies, as well as the local culture.”

Previously, visits have been made to destinations like Manzhouli in Inner Mongolia, Dunhuang on the Silk Road, Lijiang in Yunnan province, and Harbin in Heilongjiang.

Students can choose either the full- or part-time mode. The former takes 12 months, but may be extended by adding an exchange programme, while the latter is usually completed within 17 to 24 months.

“Overall, the curriculum combines theoretical and practical learning through course work and case studies, providing students with the concepts, tools and methodologies needed to understand contemporary China,” says Professor Xiao Hong, Director of the MACC programme. “We are explor-ing opportunities to expand the student exchange programme with top universities in China and are developing an internship programme in partner-ship with Chinese companies to give other types of experience. Also, we are continuously expand-ing and reviewing the curriculum to stay up to date with changes occurring in China.”

In a bid to attract more overseas candidates, the programme also offers scholarships covering all tuition fees for international students.

Lee Tiow Yong, a graduate of the MACC class of 2013 and Assistant Director-General of Singapore Customs, is quick to underline the all-round bene-fits he has gained.

“The programme has greatly enriched my under-standing of China,” he says. “What I liked most is its multi-disciplinary nature covering the politics, society, economy and history of China. The immer-sion trip also brought me to places and institutions which I would not otherwise have been able to visit as an ordinary tourist.”

Singapore: Destination for postgraduate studiesAfter several years of working experience, many people choose to get a post-graduate degree in order to enhance their career competencies. In recent years, Singapore has been eager to attract worldwide talents and professionals, through a fee subsidy scheme and residency permits, to live and study there.

Abundant resources for aca-demic research

Most popular courses: Engi-neering and MBA

Located just south of the Malay peninsula, Sin-gapore is well-known for its efficient government and corruption-free society. Setting high academic standards for the Southeast Asia region, Singa-pore has become one of the most popular world-class destinations for study. Tertiary education and academic standards in Singapore are outstanding. Among the public autonomous universities, Na-tional University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) are ranked among the world’s top 50. One of the major reasons is a favourable government policy, in which abundant resources are made available for academic re-search. The two universities have received a total of S$16 billion (approximately HK$100 billion) in subvention from 2011 to 2015.

Regardless of its limited space, Singapore en-joys flourishing tertiary education. Apart from the national universities, private publicly funded and foreign universities are also available to provide postgraduate courses. Students who lack impres-sive academic results can choose the latter two options as they have relatively relaxed admission standards. Private institutions are under the super-vision of the Council for Private Education in order to ensure their academic quality.

Engineering is the course that Singapore is most proud of. According to the QS World University Rankings by Faculty 2013 - Engineering and Tech-nology, NUS and NTU are ranked seventh and 14th respectively. Nanyang Technological University is one of the world’s top engineering institutions, with 16,000 students and nearly 2,000 teaching and administrative staff. It offers over 20 postgraduate courses and publishes a considerable number of research reports (ranked in the world’s top three) with its reports being frequently quoted worldwide.

As a major financial and business services hub in Southeast Asia, MBA courses in Singapore come out strongly as well. In 2014, the Financial Times published its Global MBA Ranking, putting the MBA courses provided by NUS and NTU at 32nd and 38th accordingly. Nanyang Business School is the third school in Asia to be recognised by Eu-ropean Quality Improvement System, as well as the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Besides, schools of information technol-ogy and hotel and tourism management have also contributed in helping Singapore gain global atten-tion in the world of tertiary education.

However, the subsidy scheme is limited to par-ticular courses provided by NUS, NTU, Singapore Management University (SMU) and Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD), be-cause they already gained government subvention in order to nurture desired talents.

Students can also apply for different scholarships if the courses they have joined do not qualify for any subsidy. SINGA and SMART scholarships are designed for all postgraduates in NUS, NTU and SUTD. PhD students in SUTD can apply for an SUTD President’s Graduate Fellowship. Hong Kong students who take MBA course in NTU can apply for APEC Scholarships, Nanyang Fellows Scholarships and NTU-MBA Scholarships.

Tuition fee subsidy scheme attracts worldwide talentsTuition fees in Singapore are relatively high. Tak-ing MSc (Integrated Sustainable Design) in NUS as an example, its one-year tuition fee costs up to S$37,800 (approximately HK$235,000), not to mention the high living expenses there. So, what are the reasons that attract people to study in Sin-gapore?

The financial support provided by the Singapore government is one of the contributing factors. The Ministry of Education provides Service Obligation to subsidise international students on particular postgraduate courses. In order to obtain the sub-sidy, students have to sign a contract and pledge to work there for three years after graduation. Dif-ferent courses can carry different rates of subsi-dies. Again taking the MSc (Integrated Sustaina-ble Design) as an example, students have to pay S$29,950 in tuition fees after the subsidy (approx-imately HK$185,700).

Enjoy residency in a fast-growing economy Another merit of studying for a postgraduate de-gree in Singapore is the right to become a Singa-pore citizen. The Singapore government is keen to retain talents to help its growth. Students who have signed the Service Obligation and fulfilled their contract after one year are entitled, with an employment pass issued by a Singapore-based company, apply for permanent residency in Sin-gapore.

The Singapore government has announced sever-al policies to boost its economic development. In 2013, the GDP per capita exceeded US$52,000, slightly higher than that of Hong Kong. Singapore is located between fast-growing China and India, and is familiar with both Chinese and Indian cul-ture, a fact which offers a great opportunity for Sin-gapore to enhance its economic development.

The employment rate in Singapore has contin-uously reached its highest point in the last few years, something which applies to postgraduates as well. In 2011, 97 percent of the postgradu-ates from NTU were able to find a job within four months of their graduation.

Corporate skillsin the Asian Century John Cremer

A recent report by the Asian Development Bank forecast that, by the year 2050, the region will have a per capita GDP of US$38,600 and that av-erage personal incomes will be similar to those in Europe today.

This is just the latest sign of how fast the econo-mies in Asia are rising and yet further confirmation of the opportunities that await individuals with the ambition and education to make their mark.

To capitalise on what is happening, businesses in every sector and industry are adopting a pan-Asian outlook, implementing plans for expansion, and creating new roles for executives ready to meet the fast-moving challenges of doing busi-ness in the Asia-Pacific region.

Moreover, today’s corportations face a new busi-ness climate. The wheel of social media as a new

form of marketing strategy is accelerating the rev-olution in consumption patterns – presenting more untapped opportunities both locally and vis-a-vis a global playing field. With these changes, profes-sionals and managers realise the importance of going back to school to refresh their knowledge and skills in order to cope.

With all that in mind, ESSEC Business School, a world leader in management education with over 120 years of French heritage, is set to launch a premier programme focusing on the skills, insights and innovative thinking needed to succeed as a corporate leader as the Asian century unfolds.

Taught in Singapore, the 15-month ESSEC Executive MBA Asia-Pacific will offer a unique cur-riculum which combines a cutting-edge approach to management with an emphasis on developing the soft skills, critical faculties and cultural aware-

ness essential for leading and inspiring in today’s fast-moving business environment.

Participants in the upcoming intake in Octo-ber 2014 will benefit from a “pan-Asian core” to the programme and with a global reach. Certain modules will explain key economic drivers in the Asia-Pacific region, highlighting trends such as Islamic finance, public-private partnerships and emerging market forces. Others will cover topics such as big data, mass targeting, value creation, digital branding and business negotiations in Asia, providing a comprehensive view of what is hap-pening today and what is on the way.

Uniting everything is a strong focus on actionable learning and tactical frameworks, which individu-al students can apply straightaway back in their workplace. And with each class guaranteed to in-clude a diverse mix of executives, there will also be extensive opportunities to network and learn about the workings of different sectors and indus-tries from experts in their respective fields.

“The innovative curriculum goes beyond usual core management topics to highlight the latest trends in the region,” says Professor Cedomir Nestorovic, director of the ESSEC Executive MBA Asia-Pacific. “Delivery is based on an inclusive learning approach that seeks to reflect the melting pot of views, and the content balances the unique-ness of Asian-based cases and business models with universal qualities [required in] the global en-vironment and in future powerhouse economies.”

The programme structure is modular, with a series of course clusters built around topics like innovat-ing and managing business growth, harnessing the digital tide, and leadership and personal de-velopment. Participants can generally expect to attend classes in Singapore for a six-day period every four weeks.

Along the way, they will also have workshops, projects, real-life business cases, corporate visits, and speaker sessions with influential figures and entrepreneurs. Short electives will offer the chance

to study developments in Africa, Latin America or the Middle East. And residencies in China and the United States will give an up-close insight.

To cope with Asia’s diverse cultures, ESSEC Asia-Pacific offers a programme with unique and refreshing course content to help companies and executives develop a deep understanding of busi-ness practices and cultural issues to tap into Asia’s markets.

“The programme is very demanding and, as a result, we seek motivated and dedicated partic-ipants,” Nestorovic says. “But my message to potential candidates is to come and challenge yourself. The ESSEC Executive MBA will be a transforming experience which will help to shape your career and empower your future.”

ESSEC Asia-Pacific is currently located

in the NLB Building, Singapore,

and will move into its new campus

in January 2015.

Where do you come from and which subject are you studying?

Why did you choose Singapore for your postgraduate degree?

What is your opinion of academic standards in Singapore?

I come from Hong Kong. I’m now studying at Singapore Universi-ty of Technology and Design (SUTD), pursuing my PhD degree in information systems technology and design. I work in the SUTD audio research group and am supervised by Dr Simon Lui. My research focus is how to make the computer learn and copy the singing style of pop artists.

To be honest, I am not very concerned where I pursue my PhD degree. The main concern in academic research is the supervisor. Academic research is totally different from course-based graduate work because academic research helps consolidate our fundamental knowledge. It is mainly the hard work of the master and the apprentice, which makes for fruitful research findings.

Nevertheless, Singapore is a good place for academic research. No other country is willing to use its tax income to attract global talent.

I would describe them as “world-leading” and “first class”. Every year Singapore attracts thousands of students to study, ranging from primary to graduate students. The allowances and rising academic standards are the contributing factors. SUTD is still at an early stage, but it has been developed in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which is famous for its academic excellence and entrepreneurial culture. The number of No-bel laureates affiliated with MIT, and the companies founded by MIT alumni, create a brand effect for attracting global students to study there. The success of SUTD is inevitable, just like Singapore’s other high-ranking autonomous universities – NUS, NTU and SMU.

What is most difficult about life in Singapore and how do you cope with it?

Can you suggest some must-do things for people who study in Singapore?

Besides academic achievement, what are the benefits of studying in Singapore?

So far, I have not found any difficulties living in Singapore because this is the second time that I have studied here. I studied for my secondary education here from 1998 to 2002. Therefore, I am already used to treating Singapore as my hometown.

I think language was the greatest difficulty when I first came here. My native language is Can-tonese. However, I had to use my second and third languages, English and Putonghua, to com-municate with others on a daily basis, which I found very challenging. Moreover, “Singlish” has its own unique style and the accent varies among the different races. I think you can just imagine how difficult it was for a teenager who was away from his home and parents.

Nevertheless, I am grateful that I had such a learning experience. Now, I am able to communicate with Singaporeans in Singlish.

Studying aboard is a gold-en opportunity and so do not take it for granted. Try to ap-preciate Singapore culture and values, such as the food, the lifestyle, and the mindset. This does not mean that you cannot voice your concerns or problems. Just be patient and systematically list your problems. Singaporeans are willing to listen and help.

For me, the must-do things are basically walking around the attractions and trying to appreciate the beauty of this city.

As mentioned, the allowance plays a major role. I can concentrate on my study and research without thinking about school fees and the rental. Each research group in SUTD is well-funded too. Any necessary research equipment can be obtained on request. This really motivates me to strive for excellence in my research.

Q: What are the benefits of postgraduate study in Singapore?

Q: Why should students choose Singapore instead of their home country or any other place?

A: A conducive research environment The Singapore government provides ample

research funding and high-tech research facilities to support impactful research work. Singapore is keen on recruiting global research talent since they possess valuable knowledge and can offer their students great insights.

Research and development is an integrated devel-opment strategy in Singapore. Other than higher learning institutes such as universities, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) is the leading agency for fostering world-class scientific research and talent for a vibrant knowl-edge-based and innovation-driven Singapore. A department within the Prime Minister’s Office, the National Research Foundation (NRF), sets the na-tional direction for R&D.

A: World rankingThe National University of Singapore (NUS)

and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) are ranked among the top 50 universities in the world, according to the 2013/14 QS World University Rankings, offering a wide range of courses.

NUS has emerged as Asia’s top university in the latest 2014 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) University Rankings: Asia. NTU, a research-intensive institution, is the fast-est-rising Asian university in the Top 100 ranked in the QS World University Rankings between 2010 and 2011.

International outreachSingapore is well-connected globally. For exam-ple, NTU’s international outreach includes more than 400 academic and research partnerships with institutions across the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific, particularly China and India. NTU is one of the seven founding members of the Global Alliance of Technological Universities, a network of top technological universities united in addressing global issues through leading-edge science and technology.

Funding successFrom April 2005 to March 2011, NTU won more than S$1.3b in competitive research funding. This translates into extended opportunities in research.

Prestigious award and scholarshipsOutstanding young researchers may apply for prestigious fellowships in science and technolo-gy under a scheme promoted by the Singapore National Research Foundation, which can get an offer from a university such as NTU and research funding of up to S$3m (HK$18.6 million) over five years.

Singapore is committed to attracting the bright-est post-doctorates and PhD students locally and globally. Quality graduate programmes are abundant in universities here, including joint PhD programmes with top overseas universities. At-tractive scholarships, such as the Nanyang Pres-ident’s Graduate Scholarship, the NTU Research Scholarship and Singapore International Graduate Award, help draw the brightest research talent from around the world.

Q: Which area of study is most famous in Singapore? And why?

Q: How do you rate academic standards in Singapore? Why?

Q: What should foreign students notice when they study in Singapore?

A: Engineering The biggest engineering university in the

world, NTU was ranked 26th in the Engineering & Technology category of the QS World University Rankings 2011.

NTU’s College of Engineering houses six schools and has about 16,000 students and almost 2,000 faculty and staff members.

A:Over the last few decades, academic standards in Singapore have improved dra-

matically. Both NUS and NTU are ranked among Asia’s top 20 universities. The number of high-im-pact publications from Singapore is rising tremen-dously, and top-notch researchers from all over the world are being recruited to spearhead innovative research that is necessary for Singapore’s growth and development.

A:Singapore is a highly efficient society. Peo-ple speak multiple languages such as Eng-

lish, Chinese, Malay, Tamil. It is a multiracial so-ciety, so students can encounter and learn about different cultures. It is also important to be sensi-tive to the different cultures among people here.

Nanyang Business School (College of Business) In the annual rankings of full-time MBA pro-grammes, the Nanyang MBA is consistently in the global top 100, one of the best in Asia and Singa-pore (The Economist); the school is the first in Sin-gapore, and the third in Asia, to be accredited by both the European Quality Improvement System and Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

NTU has emerged from the shadows of other Asian universities including the NUS, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and Tokyo University, to overtake them in research impact. The 23-year-old university has produced impactful research in recent years. Data from New York-based Thomson Reuters and Amster-dam-based Elsevier reveals that NTU has been on a trajectory, surging ahead of Hong Kong, Ko-rean and Japanese universities in Asia from 2007 (Thomson Reuters InCites 2012).

The cost of living in Singapore can be relatively higher than in neighbouring countries, especially in terms of rentals.

At the Singapore City Gallery you can enjoy a bird’s-eye view of Singapore landmarks through detailed architectural models. You will see how the city skyline was created, and by exploring the exhibits you can observe how dynamic Singapore has become since it evolved from a small fishing village to the fifth most competitive country in the world.

Having obtained some background information, you may ask when the best time to truly experi-ence Singapore is. It must be festival time. One reason Singapore embraces a large number of tourists every year is that the city enjoys a mixed cultural environment where an absence of festi-vals is never an option. Don’t miss out on events such as Lunar New Year, the Hungry Ghost Festi-val, Hari Raya Haji, the Dragon Boat Festival and Pongal. You have a chance to experience not only some joyful celebrations, but also like a fascinating look at the ancient Hindu religious festival known as Thaipusam, where you can see faithful devo-tees pierce their bodies with skewers in order to seek blessings and fulfil vows.

Those who are addicted to a bird’s-eye view of scenery can savour the view from the Singapore Flyer, located near Marina Bay Sands. Standing at a height of 165m, and with a diameter of 150m, it is Asia’s largest and tallest giant observation wheel. Show your student identity card and purchase a flight ticket with discounts. The ticket also entitles you to join the Journey of Dreams, which introduc-es you to the story of Singapore through an ap-pealing and eye-catching multimedia showcase.

Let’s not forget Sentosa, a major tourist attrac-tion visited by some five million people a year, and one of the most-beloved resorts in the world. It boasts a dizzying array of attractions, including award-winning spa retreats, golden sandy beach-es, golf courses and cosy residences. The Skyline Luge Sentosa, a unique outdoor 1.2km ride, offers you, your family and friends an amazing panoram-ic vista of the island’s coastline. If you take a ride

there, 15 minutes from the city centre, your visit to Singapore will be complete.

Imagine sitting in a special-themed relaxing homey cafe, enjoying your book with a delicious coffee. That would definitely make your day, right? But where in Singapore can we find such a dream cafe? Cat lovers should visit the Cat Cafe Neko no Niwa at Boat Quay. Just reserve a table be-forehand and slip into a mood of tranquillity. Wan-dering the Changi village roads, you can discover another great cafe – Chock Full of Beans. Take your friends and be prepared to be amazed by the 3D latte art they truly take a pride in.

In such a well-known food paradise, it will be a waste if you have not tried the incredible variety of local and international food. The kaya (coconut jam) toast at Ya Kun, a retro-ambience cafe, never fails to fulfil tourists’ expectations. Come and drool over that crispy grilled toast slathered with kaya. Needless to say, cendol, a traditional dessert with coconut milk and jelly noodles, char kway teow (stir-fried rice cake strips), chilli crab, Hainanese chicken rice, satay and bak kut teh (pork ribs sim-mered in a mixed broth of herbs and spices) are all on the list. So, when you live in Singapore, there is only one question that matters: are you ready for all these adventures?

Teh Tarik is a symbol ofMalay culture in Singapore.
