BrightSparks, a scholarship, higher education and career
portal 55.4 per cent of ‘A’ level and IB graduates said they
expect to earn more than S$3,000 per month while 10
percent expects to make more than S$4,000 per month after they
graduate.
Four in 10 students voted Business Administration as the most
popular course of study, followed by Accounting (28.8%) and
Engineering (28.6%) based on findings of the same survey which
covered some 2,700 students.
The top five most popular industries to work in are banking and
financial services, airline/travel, public service, healthcare and
auditing/accounting.
The survey also found that students prefer scholarships
issued by local universities to those awarded by government
agencies or companies.
The National University of Singapore retained the top spot as
the most popular scholarship provider followed by NTU.
