How much is education in Singapore

Unfortunately, attractive in all respects, Singapore is not very cheap. Both the cost of living and tuition fees for international students are quite high. However, do not give up the dream. Remember that there are scholarship programs and grants. All this helps to find funding for the training course and enjoy your stay in Singapore.

First expenses

Regardless of the level of study, all students must apply to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) within two weeks of their admission to the university. It costs US $ 71.50.

Undergraduate

International students in Singapore pay more than local students. The cost of training, unfortunately, is quite high. Moreover, it varies depending on the educational institution and the chosen specialty. There are also a number of additional costs that foreign students face. For example, student fees, health insurance and administrative fees.

On average, tuition fees range from US $ 10,885 to US $ 31,719 per year.

For example, the National University of Singapore has the following undergraduate tuition fees for international students in the 2015/2016 academic year:

* below is the full cost of training, excluding the MOE grant, which halves the cost

Arts and Social Sciences - US $ 21,300

Business - US $ 23,400

Engineering - US $ 27,700

Law - US $ 27,850

· Medicine (not including nursing) - US $ 104,000

International students may apply to the Ministry of Education for a grant training or subsidized tuition. You may be offered the option of non-refundable money. But in this case, you have to work out some time by profession in Singapore and thus return the money invested in you. Remember that the period of such working time for foreign students lasts longer than for citizens of Singapore.

Postgraduate education

The cost of studying in a magistracy and at other levels of postgraduate education is not much less than the cost of undergraduate courses. For example, students are often asked to pay a registration fee of US $ 119. Also, most likely, you have to pay a one-time fee of US $ 40 and an examination fee of US $ 159-397. In addition, contributions of US $ 8-15.90 for computer maintenance and health insurance are charged during the year. Finally, annual tuition fees will vary, depending on the university, from US $ 15,855 to US $ 42,810.

All at the same National University of Singapore, the following tuition fees for international students in the academic year 2015/2016 are set:

 * below is the full cost of training, excluding grants that reduce the cost by half

Arts and Social Sciences - US $ 21,400

Business - US $ 21,400

Deontology and Medicine - US $ 37,300

Engineering and Science - US $ 22,200

Right - US $ 21,700

As in the case of undergraduate students, at the postgraduate stage, students can make a request for a scholarship or grant. Send a request to the Ministry of Education. But after completing the training, you will have to work for three years in one of the Singapore companies.

Subsidies may be US $ 3,964-31,711. The amount depends on the curriculum. For example, on the basis of the University of Technology and Design Singapore, there are scholarships that include monthly payments and health insurance.
