Tuition Fees for Graduate (Research) Full-Time and Part-Time Programmes
for Academic Year 2014-15
(A) Notes on feesThere is no application fee for research programmes. Nevertheless, there are eligibility guidelines and various types of fees that you need to know:
1) Eligibility Guidelines for Ministry of Education (MOE) Subsidy
The substantial tuition subsidy from the Government of Singapore comes in the form of a MOE Subsidy which is administered by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and is offered to all admitted students up to the maximum programme duration.
(1.1) Students with a Higher Degree Qualification
Students who have previously enjoyed MOE subsidy or government sponsorship 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” for the graduate programme that they now wish to undertake. For example, students who had previously enjoyed MOE subsidy in a Masters programme and had attained the Masters degree will not be eligible for subsidy in another programme at Masters degree or lower level. In addition, if they wish to upgrade in another discipline area where the programme has a combination of Masters and PhD candidature, they will not be eligible to enjoy MOE subsidy during the Masters candidature.
(1.2) Transferred or Re-admitted Students
Students who are transferred or re-admitted within NTU or across Autonomous Universities ** will be eligible to receive MOE subsidy up to the maximum programme duration for the new programme less number of semesters of MOE subsidy received for the previous programme.
** Autonomous Universities refer to NTU, National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore Management University (SMU) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
2) Service Obligation
From AY 2008-2009 onward, individual international student who chooses to pay lower subsidized fees will need to take up a 3-year service obligation. As part of the service obligation, the foreign student is required to work in Singapore-based companies upon graduation.
Singapore-based companies refer to local companies and international companies that have a base in Singapore which is registered with the Accounting & Corporate
Regulatory Authority (ACRA), or companies of such Singapore-registered companies that are based overseas.
The duration of the service obligation is fixed at 3 years, regardless of the duration of study at subsidised rates.
