Singapore forms the heart of ASEAN countries

Singapore, widely acknowledged for its enormous success in building a prosperous nation during the last 52 years, forms the heart of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations). Many Western and Asian companies and institutions have their regional and global Headquarters in Singapore. Singapore has developed its comparative strengths in fields of banking, health care, education, research, and tourism and strives for world-class quality and innovation.

Singapore: Anglo-Saxon business world and the dynamics of Asia

Singapore boasts an open, multi-ethnic culture, comprising both the Anglo-Saxon business world and the dynamic region of Asia. Young academics should not miss the opportunity to gain a hands-on learning experience in such a dynamic place, where American and British style meets the Asian speed of growth. For this reason, many other western universities have established contacts with institutions in Singapore, some even setting up campuses there.
