If you have obtained or currently pursuing you GCE O Level, junior colleges and polytechnics in Singapore and not your only options.

In Singapore, our constant need to be ahead of the curve has driven us to emphasize on the importance of grades in our O-Level results. UniGlobal Education believes that there is a university for everyone and every individual is unique. Our professional consultants will match the right pathway to your desired course and university base on your academic results, country preference and budget.

The A level in Singapore is highly competitive and not everyone will able to meet the entry requirements to gain admissions to their desired programs at a local university. It is also highly competitive for graduates from local polytechnics to gain admissions to popular faculties at a local university, e.g. Business. There are wider options of courses for O-Level graduates who wish to study overseas.

These options are also open to N-Level Academic and NITEC certificate holders. These pathways are known as Foundation Programs. Foundation Programs are a pre-university course which bridges the proficiency gap for students to enter directly into University after the 1-year program. Essentially, you will save significantly more time compared to doing a Diploma or the A-Level in Singapore.

According to a recent report, foundation pathways to overseas universities, mainly in the UK, Australia and New Zealand have seen an increase in demand from O-level graduates in Singapore. Students will do a year of foundation studies in lieu of the A levels, and progress to an affiliate university.O-Level graduates are able to gain admissions to most US universities or do a 2 years associate degree at a US community college without having to so a foundation program.
