Social Sciences degrees abroad

Four clusters recur among graduates: government and policy (civil services, think tanks, political risk), international organisations and NGOs (the UN system, development agencies — usually after a master's), communications and research roles across the private sector, and law or journalism via conversion routes. The degree's currency is analysis and writing, which transfers across all four. Post-study work rights let graduates bank experience in the study country first, which strengthens every later application, including at home.

No fixed subjects — strong grades in any combination work, with essay-based subjects (history, English, economics) the natural evidence of fit. Grade bars scale with university: competitive UK international-relations programmes want AAB equivalents or IB 34+, while very good universities admit at BBB equivalents. English requirements are standard IELTS 6.0–6.5. The personal statement pulls real weight in this subject: demonstrated engagement — reading, debate, MUN, volunteering — separates similar transcripts.

It's the wrong comparison to make against nursing or engineering — the right one is against studying the same subject at home. What international fees buy here is institutional signal, faculty networks and the internship geography of cities where policy and international organisations physically sit, plus post-study work rights to convert the degree into experience. For students genuinely aimed at policy, development or international careers, that access is the product. For students choosing it as a default, a more vocational subject may serve the fees better — and we'll say so in counselling.

A flat SGD 50, billed as two monthly instalments of SGD 25. That covers everything: counselling, university matching, application support and guidance right up to your offer. There are no hidden extras, no agent fees and no commission on your tuition, because our counselling is funded by our university partners, the SGD 50 only covers administration. Separately, you pay the university’s own tuition or semester fees directly to the university after you accept your offer.

Everything from start to finish: understanding your options, shortlisting the right programme, preparing your application and personal statement, submitting to the university, and guiding you through the offer, enrolment and visa paperwork, all with a dedicated counsellor.

We place students into a range of UK and international universities, and we shortlist the best-fit options for your grades, budget and goals rather than pushing a single school. On some pages we run dedicated SGD 50 placement drives for a specific partner university, and we are always adding more partners. Tell us your goals and your counsellor will map out your options.
