Karim’s Path: Pursuing Engineering and Data Science at PSB University Singapore

Karim chose to study at PSB University Singapore, enrolling in the BSc Engineering and Data Science program. PSB University is recognized among Singapore’s private institutions and holds a respectable position in the AD Scientific Index 2025, ranking #18 out of 27 institutions in Singapore based on H-index research output.

Before university, Karim distinguished himself as a talented competitor in STEM and robotics, earning prizes at international Olympiads. His strong foundation in these fields fueled his passion for combining engineering with data science, leading him to choose a program that emphasizes both practical skills and interdisciplinary knowledge.

While PSB is not at the research intensity level of Singapore’s top public universities like NUS (National University of Singapore) or NTU (Nanyang Technological University), it offers a valuable and practical educational experience. For Karim, PSB provided a credible and more affordable pathway to gaining a bachelor’s degree in partnership with a recognized university, with a strong focus on practical and vocational training.

Karim appreciated the hands-on approach and industry-relevant skills he developed during his studies, which helped him build a solid foundation in both engineering principles and data science techniques. This combination prepares him well for the evolving job market where interdisciplinary expertise is highly sought after.

If you, like Karim, are looking for a private institution with accreditation and solid practical training in Singapore, PSB University is a worthy choice. However, if your goal is to study at one of Singapore’s top-tier, research-intensive public universities, you might consider applying to institutions like NUS, NTU, SMU, or SUTD, which focus more on cutting-edge research and global rankings.

Karim’s journey reflects a thoughtful choice balancing quality education, affordability, and career readiness—a valuable example for students planning their studies in Singapore.
