Top Higher Education Companies in Singapore

Overview

Tertiary education being prioritized; education profile among Singapore residents increases

The higher education sector in Singapore has experienced tremendous development with every passing year. Whether it be well-known university brands with long histories or newer institutions set up by either Western institutions or local-foreign partnerships with branches within the city, the sector has developed and advanced immensely.

The pandemic and geopolitical divisions over the past few years have led to visible changes to the economy, and this has resulted in a greater demand for university and higher education options that are within the country instead of educational pathways abroad.

The tertiary education sector in Singapore offers individuals the choice of joining institutions such as:

Universities based in Singapore - the country has 6 well-established autonomous universities that provide a range of educational options.

Polytechnic and arts institutions - which assist with both local education and tertiary education overseas. Students who excel at these institutions are provided with chances to continue their education in countries like Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Foreign educational institutes - set up around the country to enable distance learning.

Between the years 2010 and 2020, the education profile of the resident population (consisting of Singapore citizens and permanent residents) in Singapore showed a rapid increase. Statistics obtained in 2020 showed that 6 out of 10 residents in Singapore had obtained higher qualifications and post-secondary qualifications.

The sector also noted a wider range of individuals seeking higher education. The number of residents with post-secondary or higher qualifications increased by 90.1% among the age group 25-34 years, while 82.9% and 64.8% increases were seen among the age groups 35-44 years and 45-54 years, respectively.

Additionally, between the years 2000 and 2010, the number of university graduates who were Singapore residents doubled from 266,600 to 634,100. These increases have helped the sector remain steadfast despite exterior disruptions such as lockdowns and travel restrictions.

Key Trends

Gender ratio proves influential; female enrolment in institutions steadily increases

According to legislation within Singapore, it is mandatory for all male citizens and permanent residence (PR) holders to enroll in national service for two years. Taking this into consideration, the sector revised the gender ratio enrolment for first-degree levels in order to balance the gender gap. Nonetheless, over the past 20 years, the female-to-male enrolment ratio has still increased to an average of 3.5% every year.

The ratio doubled between 1995 and 2014, from 37 females per 100 males to 71 females per 100 males. By 2020, statistics showed that 22.8 percent of women aged 55 and above had higher educational qualifications or post-secondary qualifications compared to 34 percent for men.

Furthermore, female university students dominated three of the five most common fields of study in Singapore. These fields included Business & Administration, Humanities & Social Sciences and Natural, Physical, Chemical & Mathematical Sciences. Meanwhile, the fields of Engineering Sciences and Information Technology still remained male-dominated fields.

Pursuing tertiary education proves arduous for special needs students; lack of support and limited resources to assist with students

Providing educational support to all walks of life is imperative, especially with the notion to aid the economy of Singapore. Yet, one segment of the tertiary education sector proves to be overlooked - the assistance and support needed for differently abled or special needs students in pursuing higher educational opportunities within the country. Individuals suffering from dyslexia and autism often find it a massive struggle with regards to time management and the ability to prioritize at tertiary levels.

Autistic consultant Ms Alina Chua - the Principal at an autistic-based school called Pathlight School - has stated that individuals suffering from autism require extra time to familiarize themselves with a range of course structures and understand modes of assessment. Another factor was the location of classes - special needs students required assistance moving from one class to another.

Making up about 3% of the full-time student population in institutes of higher learning, a growing concern arises for more support-driven curriculums that could enable an easier transition to tertiary education. As a means to assist this category of students, the Ministry of Education initiated a new vocational education syllabus for special education (SPED) schools to train and prepare students for tertiary-level standards of work.

A few suggested improvements were the provision of laptops and printing services to assist students especially during examinations. Also, new students could be attached to a buddy program that entails an individual trained in disability awareness to be assigned to special needs students to aid with the adjustment to university life. Many students refrain from voicing their concerns with regards to the lack of support provided due to stigmatization, but much awareness is being raised in the hope of improving the educational opportunities within the sector.

Bridging the gap between education and the industry: tertiary education slowly making its way towards interdisciplinary learning

Changes in the social and economic world, extreme weather changes, political polarization and unpredictable health scares, such as the pandemic, have vastly impacted the education system, while the need for structured rigid educational demands has begun to lessen.

The increase in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has resulted in many individuals within the sector questioning the need for 3-4 years for the completion of a degree and spending a large sum of money to attend a university online without any skill development. Many well-known companies globally, such as Google, Apple, Penguin Random House and Ernst & Young (EY) UK, no longer require a degree as a requirement for a job.

This has resulted in universities within Singapore beginning to re-evaluate their educational structure, and focusing on bridging the gap between universities and the industry. Many of the local universities are making gradual changes that entail more interdisciplinary learning, and changing university study modules to collaborate with industry partners and initiate internships and curriculum structure along with course work. The change is a slow but nevertheless important one.

Key Statistics

  • In 2021, statistics obtained showed that the employment level for graduates between 2016 and 2020 rose from 89.5% to 93.8%.
  • In August 2022, the World Bank stated that the expenditure by the government of Singapore on higher education as a % of GDP was 0.87305% in the year 2018.
  • In statistics collected in 2013, an increase from 24% to 40% was seen among individuals pursuing tertiary education between the period of 2002 and 2012. This was for individuals aged 25 years and above.
  • In 2022, statistics showed that between the years 2011 and 2020, the enrollment of students at universities increased from 56.82 to 76.08 (in thousands).
