Why Choose UK Degrees with Overseas Campuses & Business Degree in Singapore?

It is no secret that the job market is competitive and increasingly borderless. For students and mid-career professionals, choosing degrees based on location alone is not enough. 

Factors such as global credibility, workforce relevance and long-term value must be considered. This is why a UK education continues to be one of the most trusted academic pathways for both local and international students.

UK higher education is evaluated by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA), which sets and monitors academic standards across universities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, 2026). This ensures that UK-awarded degrees meet rigorous quality benchmarks. 

UK universities consistently rank among the world’s top institutions in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, which recognises excellence in teaching, research environment and quality, international outlook and industry (Times Higher Education, 2025). What this means for non-UK based students is that there’s a powerful opportunity here to earn a globally recognised UK qualification without relocating overseas. 

At TMC Academy in Singapore, students can gain the benefits of a UK education while studying in one of the world’s leading education and business hubs. 

Why Choose a UK Business Degree in Singapore?

Singapore is a premier global hub for corporate headquarters and a hub for finance, technology, hospitality and innovation. Being based in Singapore provides students the following benefits:  

• Lower overall costs compared to relocating to the UK (StudyHQ, 2024)

• Internationally-recognised qualifications

• Close physical proximity to a wide range of industry opportunities post-graduation

• A safe, diverse and vibrant learning environment

Students seeking qualifications such as a business degree in Singapore, finance or IT courses in Singapore, or MBA courses in Singapore can get the best of both worlds and earn a UK qualification that holds value worldwide.
