The British Council officially launched its Alumni UK network for international graduates of UK universities in Singapore at the start of the Going Global conference.
Welcoming delegates and alumni to Eden Hall, British High Commissioner to Singapore Kara Owen, emphasised that the UK education system draws “the best in the world”.
“Here in Singapore where our history is very long and close, half of the current government cabinet have studied in the UK,” she said.
“UK universities provide students with a fantastic, solid starting point for their careers. But we all know that it’s not just about what you’ve done in the lecture hall, but experience that you get in the UK is about so much more than that. It’s got something to do with breadth, diversity, international flavour of our universities.”
