Fees for Government-subsidised Graduate Programmes

Unlike undergraduate education, most graduate programmes are designed to be largely self-funding, with little or no subsidy from the Government of Singapore.  Nonetheless, at present, all graduate research programmes and some graduate coursework programmes remain subsidised to a significant extent. 

Tuition

The annual tuition fees for different categories of government-subsidised graduate programmes are set out here. The University’s fees are reviewed and adjusted periodically to reflect the approximate cost of providing education to students.

Mandatory Miscellaneous Fees

Miscellaneous fees are typically levied on items that are either not covered or partially covered by tuition fee and grant/subsidy.  All students, whether registered on a full-time or part-time basis, are charged the mandatory miscellaneous fees.  These are due at the same time as the tuition fees.  These fees fall into the following general categories - registration, student activity, health service and insurance, and academic-related – and contribute towards defraying the associated costs.  Annual miscellaneous fees payable are set out in here.

Fee Payment Procedures

Student bills are issued by the Office of Financial Services, which also advises regarding the various payment methods available, as well as the academic year’s billing due dates. For the academic year billing, fee payment procedures, and due dates, visit the Office of Financial Services website.

Late and Partial Payment Penalties

Students who do not meet fee payment deadlines imposed by the Office of Financial Services may incur penalty fees.  If fees are not paid, or only partially paid, by the due date indicated in the bill, a late fee will be imposed.  Students whose fees are in arrears after the final deadline will have their names deleted from the student register.  Their names will only be reinstated if, within the grace period stipulated by the University, they re-register as a candidate and settle all outstanding fees including a re-registration fee of S$50.00 (excluding GST).

Refund Policy

Students who leave the University, either through withdrawal on their own accord or termination of candidature by the University, after the fee payment deadline for the semester will be liable to pay fees for the entire semester.  However, if the date of withdrawal/termination is within the first half of the semester, half of the fees paid for the semester will be refunded to such students.  Similarly, students who are admitted during the second half of a semester are required to pay fees at half the rate applicable to that semester.
