新加坡留学受青睐 Popular study in Singapore

　　新加坡作为一个城市国家，人口约为500万，作为中西文化的桥梁，吸引了近8万名中国留学生。就读于新加坡国立大学机械工程专业的刘若溪，在高二下学期，通过新加坡政府奖学金SM2(Senior Middle 2)项目选拔，来到新加坡攻读预科。她表示出国读书能接触更多的新鲜事物。作为亚洲国家，新加坡将东方元素和西方教学模式较好地融合在一起。“如果以后想去欧美深造，以新加坡为跳板更容易。”刘若溪说。

Singapore as a city country，Has a population of about 5 million，As the bridge between Chinese and western culture，Attracted nearly 80000 Chinese students。Studying in Singapore national university mechanical engineering professional LiuReXi，In eleventh grade next semester，Through the Singapore government scholarship SM2(Senior Middle 2)Project selection，Came to Singapore a preparatory school。She says to study abroad can contact more new things。As an Asian country，Singapore will Oriental elements and western teaching mode is better ground confluence is together。“After if want to go to Europe and the United States for further study，In Singapore for ramp more easily。”LiuReXi said。

　　她所在的新加坡国立大学，在英国《泰晤士报》公布的2011-2012年世界大学排名中，名列第40位。除了这所大学，新加坡还有三所公立大学南洋理工大学(NTU)、新加坡管理大学(SMU)、新加坡科技设计大学(SUTD)。据欧美同学会东南亚和南亚分会副会长王金宝介绍，新加坡国立大学和南洋理工大学的研究生80%是中国留学生。

She in the national university of Singapore，In Britain《The Times》Published 2011-2012 world university rankings，Ranked 40th。In addition to this university，Singapore and three public university nanyang technological university(NTU)、Singapore management university(SMU)、The Singapore science and technology university of design(SUTD)。According to Europe and the United States homecoming southeast Asia and South Asia club vice President WangJinBao is introduced，National university of Singapore and nanyang technological university graduate 80% are Chinese students。

　　据启德新马国家项目经理刘琴分析，双语教育模式、留学费用低廉、申请门槛较低、就业前景理想、移民政策宽松、生活环境良好是新加坡吸引留学生的重要原因。

According to the new horse kai tak national project manager LiuQin analysis，Bilingual education mode、Study abroad low cost、Apply for threshold to be low、Employment prospects ideal、Immigration policy loose、Good living environment is the important reason for Singapore to attract students。

小留学生引起关注 Small students concern

　　奔赴新加坡留学的中国学生构成格外引人注意。刘琴表示，申请新加坡留学的学生年龄跨度是最大的。70%的留学生为初高中生，10%是学前儿童和小学生，20%分布在大专、本科及以上学历。

To study in Singapore Chinese students constitute a particularly attractive。LiuQin said，Application study in Singapore students' age span is the largest。70% of the students early for high school students，10% is preschool children and primary school students，20% distribution in the college、Bachelor degree or above。

　　这种小留学生现象引起了一些人的担忧：那些抱着投机取巧心理，或者因为高考失利另寻出路而来新加坡的学生，是否会导致留学生质量良莠不齐？

This small students phenomenon has aroused some people's concern：Those who hold carpetbag psychological，Or because the university entrance exam defeat find another way out but to Singapore students，Whether can lead to students quality the good and bad are intermingled？

　　王金宝表示，这些人在新加坡其实是很难取得学位的。“我们当年来留学时，毕业论文都是送到其他国家教授那里审查，非常严格。”不能因为个别现象而否定了整个小留学生群体。

WangJinBao said，These people in Singapore is actually difficult to obtain degree。“When we come to study abroad，Graduation thesis is sent to other countries where professor review，Is very strict。”Cannot because individual phenomenon and denied the small group of students。

　　他还表示，新加坡给留学生提供了一个开放而严谨的学术环境，最后要取得良好的学习成果，还离不开学子自己的勤奋和努力。当时，王金宝在新加坡国立大学攻读工程硕士时，在实验过程中，需要测试温度、流量和拉力。这就需要购买各种实验装置，包括传感器、机械加工零件、测试仪器等。学校为他提供了2万新币(大约10万元人民币)的研究经费。从联系供应商到器材的选择、议价、完成付款，全由他亲自操作。一套实验做下来，王金宝说：“不仅提升了我的研究能力，综合素质都得到了锻炼。”

He also said，Singapore foreign students to provide a open and rigorous academic environment，The last to get good learning results，Also cannot leave the students their own hard work and effort。At that time，WangJinBao at the national university of Singapore when a master of engineering，In the experimental process，Need to test temperature、Flow and tension。This need to buy all kinds of experimental apparatus，Including sensor、Machining parts、Test instrument, etc。The school provides 20000 Singapore dollars for him(About 100000 yuan RMB)Research funds。From the contact suppliers to the choice of equipment、bargaining、Complete the payment，All the he personally operation。A set of experiments do down，WangJinBao said：“Not only improved my ability to study，The comprehensive quality have been exercised。”

引才方式值得借鉴 Lead to way is worth reference

　　21世纪的竞争是人才的竞争。劳动力短缺的新加坡深知这一点。

The 21st century competition is talented person's competition。Labor shortage of Singapore knows this。

　　刘琴表示，新加坡对于入读公立学校的留学生，提供高额的奖学金和高达80%的助学金。作为回报，留学生在毕业后也必须在新加坡工作若干时间。

LiuQin said，Singapore for into the reading public school students，Provide high scholarship and up to 80% of grants。In return，Students after graduation in Singapore must also work some time。

　　刘若溪获得的留学生补贴包括全额奖学金、每个月500新币的生活费和每月280新币的住房补贴。她说：“我们项目的全额奖学金实际上是由新加坡国立大学的助学金加上政府奖学金两部分组成，所以我们的工作时间其实是国大助学金要求的3年，加上新加坡政府奖学金单独要求的3年，一共6年。”

LiuReXi get student subsidy including full scholarship、Every month $500 Singapore dollars living expenses and 280 a month of January housing subsidies。She said：“We project full scholarship is actually made a grant from the national university of Singapore and government scholarship of two parts，So our working time is actually nus grants for 3 years，Plus Singapore government scholarship for three years alone，A total of six years。”

　　除了这种模式，王金宝还提到在新加坡的公立大学，有许多俱乐部，它的功能比国人所理解的大学社团功能要宽泛，俱乐部甚至可以为学生提供创业基金。

In addition to this model，WangJinBao said public university in Singapore，There's many clubs，Its function than people understand the university community function to broad，The club can even provide students with venture fund。

　　另外，以理工科为例，学校允许导师的科研成果直接转化为物质成果，而每个导师的学生则优先享受这种成果，例如率先获得某项由老师参与完成的专利。创业离不开经费与技术支撑，而导师是可以参与学生的创业，甚至有控股权。王金宝表示，导师实际上为这些学生提供了一个“孵化器”。(代琪 刘诗瑶 古俊生)

In addition，In science and engineering, for example，School teachers to allow the scientific research results of the direct transformed into physical achievements，And each tutor students have priority to enjoy this kind of achievement，For example, take the lead in obtain a complete by the teacher in the patent。Business without funds and technology support，And the teacher is can participate in students' venture，Even a controlling stake。WangJinBao said，Tutor for these students actually provides a“incubator”。(Generation jade LiuShiYao GuJunSheng)
