Tuition Fee Payable Per Annum

Fee payable by students in receipt of MOE subsidy

Fee payable by students not in receipt of MOE subsidy  

1. All fees quoted here are in Singapore Dollars (S$). The cohort-based fee system is introduced for the new graduate intake of all College/Faculties/Schools from AY2022/23. Under this fee system, tuition fees for an intake cohort of students will be based on the fees for that cohort throughout the student’s entire candidature. While fees continue to be reviewed annually and adjustments made as and when necessary with each new cohort of students, each new cohort will know the exact amount of tuition fees they have to pay per year throughout their entire candidature. This enables students to plan better for the financing of their graduate studies.
   a) With effect from AY2019/2020, graduate coursework students who exceeded their normal candidature will have to pay full, non-subsidised fees (i.e. fees for students not in receipt of MOE subsidy), during their extended semesters.
