The RafflesGlobal EdgeThe lecturers at Raffles College of Higher Education (RCHE) hail from

all over the world - Australia, Canada, Colombia, Korea, Germany,

Macedonia, Russia, Poland, Philippines, the United Kingdom and United

States. Individually, they are professional practitioners in their respective

fields; they travel the globe honing their skills and insights. Collectively,

their diverse backgrounds, wealth of technical knowledge and industry

experience, translate into an impeccable edge in favour of the students.

They are committed to imparting their knowledge and skills to our students

in our international learning environments, which are rich in creativity and

conducive for growth. To us, this is the Raffles global edge.



Situated at 99 Beach Road, the Raffles College of Higher

Education (RCHE) campus sits on 1.2 hectares of land housing

three buildings, located in an area designated as Singapore’s

arts, culture, learning and entertainment hub.

Housed in a conservation building that was home to the former

Central Police Station, the campus serves as the incubator

for many aspiring designers and business students in the

Asia Pacific. This historical building retains its former image of

authority and exudes a dignified and distinguished character,

yet provides a fun and lively studying and working environment

within.

We are committed to providing the best learning environment for

our students. We continually upgrade our learning to meet our

students’ needs and quest for knowledge. In efforts to be the

school of choice for local and international students, we provide

students with facilities that aid them in their learning journeys.

The campus houses 58 seminar rooms, classrooms, studios,

and computer, psychology and biomedical laboratories with the

latest equipment and technological applications. In addition,

lounges provide students with places to relax and mingle with

friends. These facilities are complemented by the resources

provided by the National Library, The Esplanade – Theatres on

the Bay, and museums in the vicinity.

the busiest along major shipping routes.

Singapore is a multi-racial society with a population of five

million people, where locals from diverse backgrounds and

cultures live harmoniously together. There are four major

races – namely the Chinese (majority), Malay, Indian and

Eurasian. Each community offers a different perspective of life

in Singapore in terms of culture, religion, food and language.

English is the main language for business and instruction with

the major ethnicities having each their own mother tongue.

Singapore’s cityscape contains much for visitors to discover

beyond its history, culture, people, shopping and food. To us,

this is how we complete a life more Raffles.

The Raffles brand is born and bred in Singapore, a city of

possibilities known for being a beautiful garden city. From a

small, humble fishing village, Singapore has transformed into

a vibrant city of modern skyscrapers and cosmopolitan living

of superlative standards. Similarly, Raffles has blossomed into

a global concern promising a life of learning that few others

can match.

Melding the best of East and West, Singapore boasts a

unique blend of history and culture evident in the arts,

architecture and food.

Despite being a small country, one of the smallest in the

world, Singapore’s commitment to free trade and her well-

educated, highly efficient workforce have made the country a

force in the world economy. Her strategic location in this part

Singapore has a very efficient public transport system that is

clean and easily accessible island wide.

many routes all over the city. It is also a very convenient and

affordable mode of transport. Most buses are air-conditioned

and bus fares range from S$0.80 to S$2.

MRT trains connect to all the major parts of Singapore and

provide one of the most popular modes of transport. Train

Taxis

Many taxis ply the roads in Singapore. You can flag one down

or wait at one of the taxi stands located at major buildings

and shopping centres. The taxi meter starts at S$2.80

with surcharges during peak hours, weekends and public

holidays.

ACCOMODATION

Below are some guidelines for the various types of

accommodation available to international students. The prices

quoted serve as a rough guide to the cost of living in Singapore.

Actual living expenses are subject to the individual student’s

expectations of living standards and personal lifestyle.

Hostel

All international students are encouraged to stay in the

students’ hostel when they first arrive in Singapore. The

students’ hostel is conveniently close to the School and the

EnterprisingRafflesAn enterprising mind is a creative one. A creative mind seeks meaningful

differentiation. Raffles is founded on the basis of offering meaningful and

compelling value for everyone involved.

Studying at Raffles College of Higher Education (RCHE) makes a difference,

classroom to the real world. During their internships, students are provided with

opportunities to hone their skills and put what they have learnt to practical use

with our industry partners.

In addition, seminars and workshops are also conducted and actively

supported by our industry partners, giving students insights into industry

demands. This is the enterprising Raffles we offer you.

alone. At Raffles, we see our edge growing and extending

beyond the shores where we were founded. We identify,

Improvement is an unending journey.

Success is seen in the fruits we help our

students bear. In seeking recognition and

certification from all quarters, what shines

through must be true blue Raffles quality that

we stand by.

Raffles College of Higher Education

(RCHE) continues to strive for excellence

in delivering high-quality education and

providing an enriching learning experience

for our students. Testimony to this is the

accreditation we have received, Singapore

Quality Class for Private Education

Organisations (SQC-PEO).

SINGAPORE QUALITY CLASS FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION

ORGANISATIONS (SQC-PEO)

This certification is aligned to the national business excellence

frameworks adopted for the US Malcolm Baldrige National

Quality Award, European Quality Award, Japan Quality Award

and Australian Business Excellence Award.

We have met the set of mandatory requirements outlined

by the authorities, including ensuring our education courses

are registered and accredited with the appropriate bodies,

and providing adequate student services. Our international

students enjoy speedy student pass applications with reduced

processing time and the waiver of security deposits.

These, and all the continuous improvements we pursue, are

what we hold up as Raffles quality.

Raffles Quality

Learning atthe Speed of RafflesIn design, ideas matter. In business, the speed in which

ideas are formed and connected counts. At Raffles, we help

you achieve ideas and speed with a sense of urgency hardly

evidenced elsewhere.

The programmes of Raffles College of Higher Education

(RCHE) are designed to incubate creative professionals and

entrepreneurs, real fast. They offer students expeditious

pathways towards undergraduate degrees in the design,

business, psychology, biomedical sciences and infocomm

security disciplines within three years after their high-school

education, and direct entry into one-year post-graduate courses

thereafter.

Taught by an international academic team, students are

equipped with industry-relevant knowledge and the ability to

interact with people of diverse nationalities so as to achieve

career maturity at a faster rate.

RCHE offers four intakes every year: in January, April, July

and October. Students are given the flexibility to commence

their studies at a time convenient to them, while graduates

can choose to enter the labour force at any one of the four

windows in a given year. This only enables our graduates to

maximise their employment prospects, but also allows them to

better serve the ongoing human resource needs of respective

industries.

One academic year consists of four terms with 12 study weeks

each, and a one-week holiday between terms.

To us, this is learning at the speed of Raffles.

Every week was exciting throughout my three years in the bachelor degree programme in Raffles Design Institute. We were given an experimental ground to create our own movies, advertisements and games. The lecturers always encouraged us to take that one more step beyond our boundary and we managed to step out of our comfort zone. Thanks to them, we were able to attain a high standard of professionalism and always remind ourselves to have fun and enjoy our work.

AWARDSWHAT OUR STUDENT SAYS

Throughout my studies in Jewellery Design at Raffles Design Institute, I have been blessed with many enriching experiences and opportunities that have allowed for me to grow not only as a designer but as a person too. It has been rewarding to have journeyed through the course and interact with other students across the globe, all of whom have shared the same goals and passions for design. I look forward to now using this wealth of knowledge as I carry on into making my mark as a jewellery designer.

combines creativity and applied technical proficiency, it takes

students from design concepts and processes through to

design. With a strong foundation in technical proficiency

and a good eye for market trends, students are able to start

honing their individual styles and identities through their

collections.
