How to apply to study in Singapore from Uzbekistan

The school-leaving qualification is what the application form is chosen by: only one electronic application form corresponds to your high school qualification can be submitted.

Supporting documents are listed in the applicant's checklist after application and must be submitted by the deadline, and applicants awaiting actual results must key in and upload their result slip. The grade record is part of that set.

The application asks for your travel document biodata page and birth certificate, if applicable.

Your recent, passport-sized, digital, colour photograph taken within the last three months.

The application asks for your personal information, including the list of countries or places you have previously resided in, your educational background, employment history and financial support. No amount is published, so none is given here.

You will need to provide original documents and official translations for documents in languages other than English. ICA accepts translations provided by the embassy of the country that issued the document, translations produced by a notary public in Singapore or in the issuing country, and privately created translations attested by that embassy or notarised by a notary public.

ICA asks for official translations and says nothing about legalisation, so an apostille is not part of the Student's Pass file. Singapore and Uzbekistan are both contracting parties to the 1961 Apostille Convention (Singapore in force 16-IX-2021, Uzbekistan 15-IV-2012), so an apostille is available if a university asks for a legalised document.

Any one of these is enough

NTU's footnote asks for IELTS at least 6 overall, writing 6, verbal 6, and says the English proof is compulsory if applying for scholarships and/or non-Engineering and non-Science programmes except the Chinese programme. This is NTU's minimum, not Singapore's — every university sets its own.

The same NTU footnote accepts TOEFL iBT or TOEFL iBT Home Edition at least 90 with speaking 25 in place of IELTS. This is NTU's minimum, not Singapore's.

The university's admission page asks applicants who did not take English at school for an English test score, which is how the English-medium teaching shows up in the entry rules.

The same NTU footnote accepts SAT at least 1250 as one of the ways to show English, alongside CEFR B2, IGCSE O Level first language at grade A, MUET at least 4 and Cambridge English Advanced at least 170. This is NTU's list, not Singapore's.

NTU's application table has a row for all other international qualifications not listed below, giving German Abitur, Turkish High School, New Zealand NCEA, Bangladesh HSC, Pakistan HSC and Iran High School Diploma as examples. An Uzbek attestat is not named on the page, so it falls into that row and is judged case by case. This is one university's page, not a national rule.

The application fee payable is SGD25 for international applicants, SGD15 for Singaporeans and Singapore Permanent Residents, and it is non-waivable and non-refundable whether the application succeeds or not. This is NTU's fee; other universities set their own.

The university's instruction is that documents in Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia and Malay do not need to be translated into English, and that for documents in other languages it is necessary to get your teacher or a professional translator to translate into English before uploading. An Uzbek or Russian document therefore goes in with an English translation.

A foreigner who has been accepted by an educational institution to pursue full-time studies in Singapore will need to apply for a Student's Pass unless he or she has a valid Dependant's Pass, Long-Term Visit Pass, Immigration Exemption Order or Short-Term Visit Pass.

To apply for a Student's Pass, you must be accepted into an approved full-time course in Singapore. Part-time courses and courses conducted in the evening or on weekends are not eligible.

The document list for an Institute of Higher Learning application opens with the Registration Acknowledgement Letter from the school you plan to attend.

You will need to apply online using the e-Service at least two months and not more than three months before course begins; you do not need to be in Singapore while your application is being processed.

A non-refundable S$45 processing fee is payable; payment can be made by Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card, American Express, Internet Direct Debit or PayNow.

A S$60 issuance fee for Student's Pass and a S$30 for Multiple Journey Visa, if applicable, are payable via Internet Banking, AMEX, a Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card online.

Before your Student's Pass can be issued, you will need to download and submit a Medical Examination Report, if applicable.

If your application is successful, ICA will issue you an In-Principle Approval letter; if you require a visa to enter Singapore, the visa will be automatically included in your IPA letter, and you must be in Singapore on a valid immigration pass for the completion of formalities.

The Ministry of Education's admissions page ends by saying: for arts institutions and autonomous universities, please visit the respective institutions' websites for more information. Singapore publishes no national entry rule for university applicants, so the academic rows below come from a university page.

Eligible Singapore Citizens, Singapore Permanent Residents and international students can receive a Tuition Grant for selected full-time diploma and undergraduate courses at the Institutes of Higher Learning, and Tuition Grant recipients who are Singapore Permanent Residents or international students must serve a 3-year bond after graduation.

The bachelor degree certificate is the qualification the eligibility rule is checked against; a final-year student submits a provisional degree certificate instead.

The guide asks a final-year applicant for yearly examination results to date, so the degree transcript is part of the file.

The application asks for your travel document biodata page and birth certificate, if applicable.

Your recent, passport-sized, digital, colour photograph taken within the last three months.

The lowest IELTS figure in the university's per-school table is 6, with several schools asking 6.5 and a few asking 7. Check the school you are applying to; this is NTU's table, not a national minimum.

The lowest TOEFL iBT figure in the same table is 85 on the old 0-120 scale, with several schools asking 90 or 100; the guide adds that applicants without TOEFL or IELTS, or who do not meet the requirement, may still be considered on a case-by-case basis. This is NTU's table, not a national minimum.

The guide asks for a TOEFL or IELTS score from applicants whose native language is not English, which is how the English-medium teaching shows up in the entry rules.

The university's coursework admission guide states the eligibility plainly: you need to have at least a good Bachelor degree, and an existing final-year undergraduate may apply with a provisional degree certificate and yearly examination results to date. This is one university's page, not a national rule.

The guide states that test dates must be within 2 years or less from the date of application.
