新加坡有5所政府设立的理工学院,提供三年制的大专课程,毕业后发大专文凭。新加坡政府对考上理工学院的学生都提供75%的学费津贴,因此吸引到很多经济不是特别宽裕的留学生。因为政府提供学费资助,所以新加坡5所理工学院对学生入学要求比较严格,无论是新加坡本地学生还是外国留学生都需要参加一年一度的O水准(O Level)的考试然后凭成绩入学。中国学生可以到新加坡完成10-12个月的O水准预备班课程,然后在新加坡参加统一的O水准考试,考试达到了当年的理工院校录取线才能入学。考试难度略高于中国的中考; 或者,用高考成绩直接报名申请。
新加坡理工学院毕业生起薪约为1200-1700新币/月,工作后就可以申请成为永久居民。因为得到政府学费资助,学生毕业后需要在新加坡工作三年。
