New partnership offers University of East Anglia qualifications in Singapore
By: Communications
The University of East Anglia (UEA) and Amity Global Institute have launched a new partnership to provide communication with business management and computing science courses in Singapore.
The partnership will see the launch of new opportunities for students to gain UEA undergraduate awards at Amity Global Institute’s campus in Singapore. In September 2025, UEA will be offering third year entry at Amity for students articulating from their diploma and other similar programmes globally.
Students will be able to achieve a BSc Computing Science with Software Development or a BA Global Communication with Business Management.
UEA’s Pro Vice-Chancellor International Prof Steven McGuire said: “We are extremely excited to launch this partnership. Working together will give students the chance to achieve high quality qualifications which are valued by universities and employers across the world. The global reputation and recognition of a degree from UEA - a top 30 UK university – will provide excellent opportunities for graduates.
“We plan to launch master's programmes in 2026 and will also be reviewing this partnership as an opportunity for UK student mobility. Together we can provide exceptional educational opportunities, and we look forward to welcoming the first students in the autumn.”
UEA Vice-Chancellor Prof David Maguire said: “This is an exciting step in UEA’s international partnership journey, showcasing our commitment to growth and collaboration. Amity Global Institute has a fantastic reputation, and we are delighted to be launching this partnership.”
Prof Leon Choong, Regional CEO (ASEAN) and Chief Academic Officer, Amity Global Institute, said: “In today’s volatile, complex and uncertain world, the University of East Anglia perfectly embodies the qualities we hold dearly at Amity – agility, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to academic excellence.
“With a distinguished reputation, a forward-thinking approach, and strong recognition by key governments, including China, UEA is the ideal partner for our mission.
“Their ability to quickly adapt to market dynamics and their shared vision for growth in Asia make this partnership a natural fit. Together, Amity and UEA will break new ground, creating exceptional opportunities for students and laying the foundation for a successful, long-term collaboration.”
The teaching and assessments will meet the same standards as those studied on-site at UEA in Norwich.
