Pre-enrolment medical examination

All NUS graduate students will also have to undergo a compulsory pre-enrolment medical examination. The pre-enrolment medical examination report form is provided together with the letter of offer of admission.

Medical examination for student pass

A medical examination is needed for all foreigners who apply for employment and immigration passes (including student passes). A student who does not pass the medical examination will be required to return to his / her home country as the relevant pass cannot be issued by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) under such a circumstance. Please click here to download the ICA medical report form.

Arrangements for medical examination

Students can make their own arrangements for the medical examinations and submit the reports to the School in the first week of their programme, or they can undergo the medical examinations during the first week of the programme at a clinic and time arranged by the School.

NUS Group Medical Insurance Scheme

All full-time graduate students are required to take up a health insurance scheme that covers hospitalisation/surgical expenses. They are insured under the NUS Group Medical Insurance Scheme (GMIS). The fee is S$117.70 for each academic year. The fee is included in the Mandatory Miscellaneous Fees portion of the student bill on a semester basis.
