Coming from a humble family, I have always valued education as a stepping stone to success. My journey started in 1995 when I had the opportunity to pursue a diploma in Singapore. Back then, one of my lecturers encouraged me to pursue higher education after graduation, but I doubted my abilities. His encouragement stayed with me, but life had other plans. My father was diagnosed with diabetes, had to undergo long-term medication, and transitioned to a new business that was still unstable. As a family, we faced financial challenges, so I chose to enter the workforce immediately after my diploma to ease my family’s burden.
Fast forward 29 years, I’ve grown from an admin staff to a CFO and now serve as a President Commissioner overseeing the board of directors in a public-listed company. Despite my achievements, I always felt a void—a desire to upgrade myself academically. Over the years, my busy schedule kept me from pursuing further education, but that changed when a friend shared her experience pursuing a master’s degree online. This conversation reignited my dream, and I decided to explore my options.
With the guidance of Mr. Jacob from Education Republic, a helpful consultant in Batam, I discovered the Murdoch-Kaplan Singapore MBA program. Despite not having a bachelor’s degree, I found a pathway to pursue this program, and after careful deliberation, I enrolled. Today, I’m in my final semester, and this journey has been nothing short of transformative.
Commitment has been crucial in juggling my full-time job, part-time studies, and family responsibilities. Prioritizing has been key to my success in managing this journey. I always remind myself that this effort will transform my life. Despite occasional struggles to fulfill assignments, I have found plenty of support available to help me along the way. The university has provided excellent support channels, such as online consultations and assignment review tools like Studiocity, which have been instrumental in ensuring my progress.
This MBA journey has not only enriched my knowledge but also expanded my networks. I have built trust and collaboration with my teammates, and we have become friends through this shared experience. The clear guidelines and accessible resources provided by Kaplan and Murdoch have further enhanced the learning process. The lecturers, especially Mr. Anand, have delivered effective and engaging sessions enriched with real-life examples, making the program even more impactful.
To anyone hesitating to pursue their dreams, I encourage you to take that first step. At 47 years old, I am living proof that it’s never too late to chase your goals and upgrade yourself professionally and academically. This MBA journey has empowered me, and I am confident it can do the same for you. Don’t let doubts hold you back—embrace the opportunity to transform your life.
Education Republic has done a great job in helping me to find the right school. They’ve been giving me all the information I needed to move to another country and adapt to my new environment.
They’ve always responded fast and given updates which makes me more sure to trust them to help me find the right path for my future. I’m grateful to find this agency and trust them to help me move abroad.
Education Republic helped me a lot for study abroad. They helped me from the beginning, from consultation, registration until I arrived to my destination country. Thank you so much!
I would like to recommend Education Republic to all aspirants who dream to the UK for higher education. Like me choosing to study my Master
in Queen Mary, University of London. I am extremely thankful to Education Republic as she supported and having patience in clarifying my doubts during the whole process from start till end of the process. Thank you for making my dream come true!
I was in need of an agent when my friend suggested Ko Jacob from Education Republic. He was very welcoming and nice, and went out of his way to help me from start to finish; my application to Coventry University.
He even helped me with my accommodation, parents’ visa application, general unrelated inquiries, and stayed patient when I did not understand the procedure. Overall, i’m very much thankful for him and his team for helping me even months after I started studying in the University.
Thanks Education Republic!

Hi, I’m Jovinsky, a Master of Human Resource Management student at National College of Ireland.
Last year, in 2021, I decided that I wanted to go to Ireland to pursue my studies. However, I had a lot of doubts and questions in my mind. I actually tried to apply to the college by myself but the admission representative told me that they prefer if I could contact an agent as it would be difficult to apply by myself. At first, I thought it would be troublesome as none of the agents were from my city, Makassar, other than the famous agent X. I contacted them but it was all over the place, they redirected me to different branches and ended up never really giving any attention to my application.
Then, I decided to contact Education Republic despite the branch being in Batam, they helped me so thoroughly and patiently. All I did was follow their instructions. There were no costs at all (other than the shipping cost of the visa) and no hassle at all.
Back then, everything was done online but everything went very well. All the briefings and preparations were perfectly done. They were very friendly to me, especially Ko Jacob. He helped me a lot by clearing my doubts, applying for the college, applying for the visa and my flights until I arrived in Dublin. Even after a while in Dublin, he was still checking up on me.
I tried 3 different agents, but Education Republic was the one that was genuinely trying to help and support me. I am really glad now that I am given the chance to study in Ireland. I met a lot of new friends, got a part-time job and had so many amazing experiences that I can’t imagine without.
Education Republic is a great place to rely on when moving to another country for your studies, they’ve helped me in starting my journey and giving a good start to my education in the U.S. The people in Education Republic always stay in touch and help in keeping track of the things you’ll need, giving an easier way to go about moving to your desired country. They are full of great people that does not hesitate to help you in every single step of your move. My move has been very smooth and relaxing due to their help and I hope for everyone to have a good experience like me, this is the place to go!
