I am not saying it as different value, there are many students from
overseas coming here to enrol in our U, i think a degree is just an
education and discipline attained, and the most important is when
you go and apply it into your working, some top U grad are just
line managers, and some diploma holders are already GM. In public
sector, NUS and NTU is priorty, as for private sector, they dun
mind overseas U grad.
As LHL said, "we bring the universities to your doorstep" so
that you save all your cost and still get degree, because govt
knows that most of them who went overseas, tends to work and stay
overseas, ending in talent drained
U do notice that our top students are mostly also going overseas
to UK, US, Aust etc while those coming to sg are mostly from Asian
countries so theres still a difference.
Uni degree is just an entry ticket to the workforce but to alot
of people, the quality of that entry ticket is important.
A overseas degree done locally has lower value because u are not
taught by the same staff in the overseas uni even though u do their
exams and get their certs. A uni ranking is more base on their
amount of research output etc etc and the profs producing such
results are not the 1 teaching u so u are in a way not getting the
full value from that uni.
