Written by Media Outreach

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 2 December 2025 - Singapore has emerged as a hub for transnational education, allowing students to earn globally recognised UK degrees without leaving the country.

Through partnerships with prestigious UK universities such as the University of London, University of Birmingham, and University of Stirling, SIM delivers world-class education with local advantages.

Why UK Degrees in Singapore

UK degrees offered in Singapore through transnational education programmes are designed and quality-assured to meet the UK's rigorous academic standards. Graduates receive the same qualifications and exact same degree as those studying in the UK.

Studying locally offers significant advantages, lower tuition and living costs, no need for relocation, and access to a vibrant campus life in Singapore. UK degrees are globally respected, and employers value the analytical and critical thinking skills developed through UK curricula.
