CIEE in Singapore: Semester in Singapore

Description

Spend a semester studying abroad in Singapore, a dynamic city-state full of lush green spaces, beautiful natural attractions, and historical landmarks. Designed for students of all academic backgrounds, this program is a great fit for students who want to immerse themselves in Singaporean culture while actively participating in the local community. You will have the opportunity to take CIEE courses, such as a directed research course, and to take up to two courses from Singapore Management University (SMU).

Outside the classroom, you’ll participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities, including a series of off-the-beaten-path trips to cultural attractions to bring your studies to life. You’ll also have every opportunity to explore Singapore on your own time, appreciating the city-state's rich blend of Southeast Asia, blending Malay, Chinese, Arabic, and Indian cultures and religions, great climate, and excellent infrastructure. Take advantage of Singapore’s highly efficient and affordable public transport system, its many sites and attractions, and its clean, green environment firsthand.
