Study Group expands offering to include Singapore as a study destination with two new partners

  • Leading global education provider Study Group launches new study destinations in Singapore, as further expansion of its global higher education portfolio for international students.
  • Initial launch includes a partnership with ERC Institution to recruit international students for their Deakin University and University of Chichester programmes.
  • Bellerbys Global foundation programmes for global multi-progression will also be available at Victoria World Academy.

As part of its continuing geographic expansion of global educational opportunities, Study Group is pleased to announce a launch into Singapore with a diverse offering in initial partnership with two respected Singaporean education institutions.

Students seeking the benefits of a global education will be able to directly access programmes delivered at ERC Institution, namely Deakin University undergraduate degree pathways, as well as one-year Degree Top-up and postgraduate programmes from the University of Chichester (UK). The Bellerbys Global Foundation Programme will also be available for study at Victoria World Academy, a highly regarded international school in Singapore.

Why Singapore

Renowned for its spirit of innovation, global outlook, and world-class education, Singapore combines academic excellence with the energy of a global business hub. With two universities consistently ranked among the world’s top 20 and close ties to global industries, Singapore offers students from across the world direct access to internships, career networks, and some of the largest global companies.

The environment offered in this extraordinary successful city state is also unique. Studying in Singapore allows international students to experience life in the Garden City, where lush greenery blends with the cutting-edge dynamism of a modern globally connected metropolis.

With four official languages – English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil – and English as the medium of study, Singapore welcomes students into one of the world’s most inclusive and multicultural communities. Celebrated for its food, safety, and dynamic lifestyle, Singapore is consistently ranked among the world’s best student cities.

ERC Institute (Singapore) – Direct Recruitment Partnership

ERC Institute’s vision is to be a premier Asian Institute known for collaborations with high quality global education partners offering industry relevant courses utilising quality teaching methods. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Japanese education group C2C, ERC also has strong links to Yamanashi Gakuin University and other education institutions in Japan and around the world. It also has strong links with the international industry and encourages students to bridge their academic learning with employability skills to enhance their future career opportunities. Three-year Bachelor programmes – awarded by Deakin University through flexible formats – are available in Computer Science, Data Science, Cyber Security, and Artificial Intelligence. One-year Bachelor Top-up programmes awarded by the University of Chichester are offered in Business Management, Business Management and Finance, Business Management and Marketing and Business and Human Resource Management. Study Group will recruit for 2026 intakes.

Bellerbys Global Foundation Programme at Victoria World Academy (Singapore)

Victoria World Academy is a Singapore EduTrust-certified school with a strong emphasis on academic excellence and holistic development, with a strong focus on delivering internationally recognised courses like the IGCSE and A Levels to students. The Academy will begin to teach the internationally renowned and UK-quality assured Bellerbys Global Foundation Curriculum from early 2026.

July Behl, Chief Partnerships Officer at Study Group, commented, “This announcement of Study Group’s launch into Singapore and our new partner agreements represent a significant strategic milestone: our initial entry into this destination market. Importantly, they advance two core strategic priorities – expansion of the Bellerbys Global network and supporting the internationalisation of leading Asian universities through our Direct Admit offering. I look forward to further enhancing the global education opportunities for our students through future development of the portfolio of options available from Study Group.”
