More Than 60 World-leading Universities to Arrive in Singapore at QS Fair

International Masters and MBA programs to attend Singapore events

 

LONDON, UK – Media OutReach – October 25, 2019 –
As the job market becomes ever more competitive, more and more employers are
looking at postgraduate qualifications to distinguish candidates from the
crowd. For the MBA program in particular, global employer demand for graduates
has risen by 13% year-on-year, and by 18% in Asia¹.

Reflecting this trend, QS Quacquarelli Symonds, known for
publishing the World University Rankings, will be hosting the largest
postgraduate events of the year at the Suntec exhibition centre.

The World Grad School Tour and World MBA Tour are making
their way across Asia, arriving in Singapore on 12^th November. These
two free events cater to hopeful masters and MBA candidates respectively, offering
Singaporeans the chance to meet admissions directors and explore educational
options from across the world.

More than 60 highly ranked universities will be attending,
representing 14 countries — with more than 10 each from the China and US, 8
from the United Kingdom and 7 local institutions from Singapore.

Schools participating
include²:

–       
Imperial College (Ranked 9^th globally)

–       
New York University (39^th globally)

–       
UC Berkeley (28^th globally)

–       
HEC Paris (7^th MBA globally)

–        CEIBS (25^th globally)

–        Nanyang Business School and the National University of
Singapore (joint 11^th globally, highest in Singapore)

Furthermore, as the costs of higher education continue to
increase, all attendees at either event will become eligible to apply for a
pool of scholarships worth $7 million, offered by participating schools and
partnered institutions. $1.3 million are entirely exclusive to event attendees.

Fairgoers will also be able to meet with the administrators
of the IELTS and GRE examinations, two leading assessments in international
study. Expert preparation advice will also be on offer for the GMAT for those
considering an MBA.

Alumni from prominent postgraduate programs, including the
University of Cambridge, will also attend to share their experiences and
insights with the future candidates.

The events are free to attend, with registration open
online.
