Despite ending its undergraduate degree collaboration with the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has not suffered a drop in the number of applications.
The university, which ended its education agreement with MIT last year, received just over 3,000 applications this year and took in 458 students, 5 per cent more than the 437 students it took in last year.
