@Martin, no that doesn’t mean that it is recognized by the Singapore Government. In fact, there is no central authority in Singapore that checks or grants recognition for degrees acquired from foreign universities. Recognition of your degree is solely at the discretion of the your prospective employer in Singapore. Having a degree from a University accredited by the Government of the country where the University is situated, only increase the chances of it being recognized here.

I checked the list and my University is listed in the U.S. Department of Education database of accredited postsecondary institutions and programs. Does it mean it is recognized by Singapore goverment ? or Do I have to do anything else? Thank you.

@Md. Syahril, in that case, you may try checking with Ireland Embassy in Singapore to establish whether “University College Dublin” is accredited by the Government of Ireland. If it’s accredited, the chances of the degree being recognized in Singapore will be higher.
