Why Academic Upgrading Matters
Academic qualifications play a central role in Singapore's EP COMPASS scoring and PR application assessment.
Under the latest MOM framework:
• A postgraduate degree from a recognized institution can earn the maximum 20 COMPASS points
• Upgrading qualifications directly strengthens EP eligibility and PR application profiles
• Many programs are part-time — study while you work, no career disruption
• Internationally recognized degrees expand global career opportunities beyond Singapore
SGVISA GLOBE helps you identify the most cost-effective academic pathway aligned with your EP and PR goals.
