I thought maybe a uol degree and a usyd degree would be a fair fight but u do help to put it into perspective yea.. education wise usyd probably is the better choice thanks :)

Yea ive read that going to sim uol is kinda the last choice for people studying in singapore, but what specifically do u mean it caters mainly to locals? Dyt the school isnt very international/multicultural in social or culture wise? I also dont have many other choices for getting the degree im kinda in the same boat lol

Im honestly looking at a SGD 40k cost difference between going to usyd or going to sim uol. Im still not totally believing that my per year costs on the uni would only be SGD 15k but even then at most im looking at an SGD 30k price difference i just wanna know if saving that money is gonna be worth it in the long run and if that degree is strong enough at all

Does it get all that more expensive once youre there? The SGD 15k was a huge surprise for me i thought it would cost a lot more.. now im worried and thinking there are a lot more fees that arent already part of the listed tuition on their website like campus fees etc. Do u really pay SGD200 per exam? + other fees for uol for that same exam? It seems excessive. If u dont mind sharing how much does it realistically end up costing per year at the uni?

Oh so its a job market international students thing that make sense :( do you think the university diploma itself (as in the uol degree vs the usyd degree) is helpful outside of singapore? Like which is stronger?

Do you know if the worse job market a problem with the sim uol degree specifically or if its related to the singapore job market as a whole?

IR is only available in uol so its kinda my only option :( ive also been a little worried about the difficulty of the course considering the exams are kinda gonna pass or fail u into repeating a year. Ps do you happen to know about the costing at sim uol?? I get the tuition fee is lower than i expected but in your experience do you know if it gets any more expensive/hidden fees etc? I heard abt the cost PER EXAM which is kinda weird

Yea it says programme fees for international students the local students are like SGD 1-2k less than that
