Notes:

1.

All subsidised fee amounts quoted above are exclusive of prevailing Goods and Services Tax (GST). The applicable GST [except Master of Psychology (Clinical) and Master of Social Sciences (Applied Economics) Programmes] is subsidised by the Ministry of Education (MOE).

Students doing the coursework programme on a part-time basis pay half the prevailing fees for full-time students (rounded up to the nearest $10). A late fee may be imposed for fees which are not fully paid by the due date indicated in the bill each semester. Fees are subject to change at any time.

Students who are full-time staff members may apply for the staff concession on the tuition fees of government subsidised graduate programmes. Information on the staff concession is available at the Staff Portal.

2.

Students who have previously enjoyed government subsidy or sponsorship by a Singapore government agency (such as scholarships offered by the Ministries, Public Service Commission and Statutory Boards) in a graduate programme will not be eligible for MOE subsidy in another graduate programme at the same or lower level. Instead, such students will be liable to pay “Full Fees” (“Full Fees” to be paid is inclusive of prevailing GST). For example, students who had previously enjoyed subsidy/scholarship in a Masters programme and had attained the Masters degree will not be eligible for subsidy in another programme at Masters or lower level. In addition, if they wish to upgrade and enrol in a graduate programme that has a combination of Masters and PhD candidature, they will not be eligible to enjoy subsidy/scholarship during the Masters candidature.

Students who are not eligible for MOE subsidy are also ineligible for some scholarships. For example, the President’s Graduate Fellowship, NUS Research Scholarship and Tuition Fee Allowance.

With effect from Semester II, 2008-2009, students (all nationality) who did not complete an earlier graduate programme and are now re-admitted to another/same graduate programme within NUS or across Autonomous Universities (NUS, NTU and SMU) will be eligible for MOE subsidy only up to the maximum course duration for the new course less the number of semesters of government subsidy/scholarship received for the previous course(s).

3.

In some programmes, the University may deem it feasible, based on industry demand, to implement a Service Obligation Scheme for international students. The determination of this feasibility is at the sole discretion of the University.

In such programmes, international students may be offered the option of signing the Service Obligation Agreement in exchange for reduced tuition fees per annum as follows:

International students who sign the Service Obligation Agreement are required to work in Singapore-based companies for three years upon graduation. Singapore-based companies refer to local and international companies that have a base in Singapore that is registered with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) as well as companies of such local and international companies registered with ACRA that are based overseas.

4.

New students will receive their hardcopy preliminary student bill (not including financial aid applied for) from the Registrar’s Office only at the point of registration. Existing students will not receive their hardcopy student bill. They will be informed via email notice sent to their NUS email account to view their student bill online at least 2 two weeks prior to the scheduled deadline for fee payment.
