The best schools for best paying degrees in Singapore

Check out why SMU beat NUS in law and economics.

Taking up a degree in any of the top 5 fields in Singapore - law, medicine, business, economics and computer engineering - requires a huge investment. For instance, current tuition fees for a law degree in the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore Management University(SMU) range from a total of $50,000-$70,000 for four years. Obtaining a degree in medicine is far more expensive. It is thus logical to consider which school is a good bet when it comes to financial pay-off after graduation.

Of course, while the school's reputation is a factor affecting the potential salary, there are other factors to consider. A study by Digital Senior, an online resource site dedicated for students in Singapore universities, found that it also pays to get good grades.

The following slides will show you the results of Digital Senior's survey of the 3 best schools in career prospects - the NUS, SMU, and the Nanyang Technology University (NTU). All figures presented are the 75 percentile gross salary of grads in SGD.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
