The Study of Singapore

The study of Singapore currently takes place in the Asian Studies Centre at St Antony’s College. Geographically, the Centre predominantly covers South, Southeast and East Asia. It works closely with scholars in the Oriental Institute.

In March 2013, Oxford will host the 2nd Annual Southeast Asian Studies Symposium organised by Project Southeast Asia, run by a number of leading academics focused on Southeast Asia at Oxford, which will look at contemporary and trans-regional issues in the region, and will be a forum for interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations.

For students who are not studying subjects related to Singapore but who wish to become acquainted with the country and its culture, the Oxford University Internship Programme offers students the chance to spend a summer during their studies working in Singapore. In 2012, students were offered the chance to apply for internships at the Tanglin Trust School, Hwa Chong Institution and A*Star (Agency For Science, Technology And Research) in Singapore.
