Spend a semester or a year at Nanyang Technological University
Singapore is a tiny nation (approximately 697 square kilometers — that's just three times the area of Washington, D.C.) that has had a big impact on the global economy. Located between Indonesia and Malaysia, Singapore is in the heart of Southeast Asia and has benefitted from its auspicious location. With strong international trading links and a highly developed free market economy, Singapore has become one of the world's most cosmopolitan and prosperous countries. What better place to study international relations, business or finance?
