The best schools for best paying degrees in Singapore

Check out why SMU beat NUS in law and economics.

Taking up a degree in any of the top 5 fields in Singapore - law, medicine, business, economics and computer engineering - requires a huge investment. For instance, current tuition fees for a law degree in the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore Management University(SMU) range from a total of $50,000-$70,000 for four years. Obtaining a degree in medicine is far more expensive. It is thus logical to consider which school is a good bet when it comes to financial pay-off after graduation.

Of course, while the school's reputation is a factor affecting the potential salary, there are other factors to consider. A study by Digital Senior, an online resource site dedicated for students in Singapore universities, found that it also pays to get good grades.

The following slides will show you the results of Digital Senior's survey of the 3 best schools in career prospects - the NUS, SMU, and the Nanyang Technology University (NTU). All figures presented are the 75 percentile gross salary of grads in SGD.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
