  My friend's daughter (in China) wants come to Singapore to study Master programmes (full time).

  Seems it is unpossible for her to entry NUS, NTU & SMU, so an agency introduced her three private universities: MDIS, SAA & KAPLAN, and told her that the graduate certificate will be same as the mother universities in UK or Australia.

  
  Is it true?Anyone knows anything about MDIS, SAA & KAPLAN?

  Are they well-known in Singapore?

  
  Will she be easy to find a job and get PR in Singapore once she graduates from these type of private universities?

  Some say that lots of courses may not be recognised by the SG Gov. Is it true? Will this affect application of PR?

  Where I can find what courses are recognised, and what are not?

  
  Thanks!

  How would you know it is impossible for her to enter NUS, NTU and SMU? How would you know if you never try? Just because somebody said cannot means cannot?

  Cos people like me have bitched too much about PRC students in Singapore.

  Honestly Yu Ren, I wouldn't recommend these private universities at all.  Might as well search for other options in other countries.  They are significantly less recognized than the leading 3 public universities you've mentioned.

  Try badgering SMU.  With enough $ they might give way.
