Schuster. &#8220;Singapore is&#13;<br \/>\nstrategically positioned in the heart of Asia and is internationally recognised&#13;<br \/>\nas the epicentre of business in the region outside of Hong Kong, making it a&#13;<br \/>\nperfect location to study business and technology with a strong emphasis on the&#13;<br \/>\ninternational arena.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Singapore is&#13;<br \/>\nconsidered one of the most culturally diverse nations in Asia and multiculturalism&#13;<br \/>\nis protected in its constitution, which will further augment Webster&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nreputation as an institution that offers a broad perspective on international&#13;<br \/>\nissues,&#8221; said Ryan Guffey, director of Webster Thailand. &#8220;The country&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nreputation for international investment and trade means that there will be many&#13;<br \/>\ndiverse global internship opportunities available to Webster students in&#13;<br \/>\nSingapore and throughout the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>Established in 1964,&#13;<br \/>\nPSB Academy focuses on what really matters: performance in the New Economy.

Listed&#13;<br \/>\nas one of the most modern countries in the world, it boasts the second-highest&#13;<br \/>\ngross domestic product per population in the world.
