The following fees apply in Academic Year 2009.

Please note that fees are subject to change.

* 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 Ministry of Education 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. For more details, please visit http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/gd-fees.html.

Unless you are on a full scholarship, you should ensure that you have sufficient funds to cover the costs of your travel to and from your home country to Singapore, accommodation in Singapore and other living expenses. While all students are eligible to join the School’s medical insurance plan, a co-payment element is applicable. You are advised, therefore, to make provision for medical expenses.

Additional Costs

Additional costs include payment for student development programmes, the orientation programme, student pass/visa fees, and the programme closure event. These costs vary from year to year, but are currently estimated to be S$3,000 for the duration of the programme.

Financial Aid

Financial aid is available to students at the School. The School offers both scholarships and grants on a competitive basis. Generally, a scholarship would cover fully the cost of studying at the School as well as living expenses, while grants will only partially cover fees and other costs.
