Academies Australasia College Singapore

Academies Australasia College (AAC) is part of Academies Australasia Group of Colleges. Our group has been operating for more than 103 years, and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

In Singapore AAC has had almost 20 years of experience in educating local and foreign students. 95% of our students are international students. We have had students from 20 different countries including China, Myanmar, Vietnam, India and Indonesia.

Our founder, Dr Ng Kim Soon, came to Singapore at a young age as a foreign student. AAC was started with the simple purpose of providing education so that students could take their first step towards employability and lifelong learning, regardless of race or language barriers.

The majority of our courses are developed in Sydney, and as such, they comply with the standards and requirements that apply to identically-named courses conducted by the Academies Australasia group of colleges in Australia.

Our campus is a 6-storey building housing 16 lecture/tutorial rooms, an auditorium, a student library and self-study and rest areas. We are next to the National Library which boasts Asia's largest source of academic resources. Being in the heart of the city, we are also in the midst of eating and shopping facilities. Our teacher-student ratio for classes is 1:25 for Foundation courses and 1:40 for Tertiary lectures and 1:25 for Tertiary tutorials.

Your confidence in us can further be assured by our attainment of the SQC-PEO & Edutrust Certification. We look forward to welcoming you as a student in the near future.
