QUOTE(Mi-yue @ Jan 7 2011, 03:04 AM) True, what the rest said. Some intro: I'm in NUS and from what I heard, NUS is easier to get in since it's higher ranking but really depends on your career choice. EG business in NTU is more sought after than business in NUS. That's a pretty contradictory statement in the first part.  I don't understand, how can a higher ranked university be easier to get in? And to the second part, NTU is more sought after in SG for business courses, if compared to NUS. Do you mean sought after by students? Or do you mean NTU's biz school has a better reputation among recruiters? And if it's the latter, does the same apply on an international scale?

QUOTE(Mi-yue @ Jan 13 2011, 06:40 PM) Oops. I must have commented when I was tired. I'll clarify what I meant. I'm not 100% sure on the comparisons between the business course, but from what I remembered, NTU business course spans over 3 years and NUS is 4 years. I think I meant NUS is rather easy to get in (not easier, sorry) and it's also a high ranking university but that depends on the course that you wat to enroll in (ref to my 4th paragraph). Although in Singapore, it's not as great as it seems back in Malaysia. When you come out from NUS, it doesn't give you any additional benefit in getting a job, and in some cases diploma holders (from polytechnic universities) are more sought after as they are given lower wages. My question is more towards the prestige, and in particular an MBA programme. For example, if you studied at LSE, you would get a priority to an interview as compared to you being in Monash. In these terms, which would stand out? NTU or NUS? This post has been edited by entryman: Jan 13 2011, 07:01 PM
