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. Students need not apply for the MOE Subsidy if they are eligible.

(1) Students with a Higher Degree Qualification
Students who have previously enjoyed MOE subsidy 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.

(2) Transferred or Re-admitted
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) and Singapore Management University (SMU) 

Tuition Fees (Coursework)

Full-Time Students

For new students enrolling in and after AY2008-2009, the new fee structure is as follows: 

Singapore Permanent Residents will pay 1.1 times the fee payable by Singapore Citizens. Foreign students will pay 2.5 times those of Singapore Citizens if they do not take up the 3 years service obligatgion, while Foreign Students will pay 1.5 times that of Singapore Citizens if they take up the 3 years service obligation.

1. Government-subsidised Programmes

Service Obligation
From AY2008-2009 onwards, individual foreign students who choose to pay at a lesser subsidized fee 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).

Notes on payment of fees
  • Every year, fees are reviewed and subject to revision. As and when fees are revised, the new fees will be applicable to all existing and new students.

GIRO form is downloadable from the following website: http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/Finance/Student+Financial+Services/Student+Billings/. Please hand in the completed form to Office of Finance and Finance will obtain bank’s endorsement on student’s behalf. Upon approval from the bank, GIRO can be activated. If payment is deducted via GIRO, this information will be reflected in the student bill. Besides GIRO, we accept cash/Nets/cheque.
  • Fees can be paid via S$ Demand Draft with a clearing bank in Singapore.

  • Persons who fail to pay fees within the stipulated periods will have their names struck off the register of higher degree students. A person whose name has been thus struck off but who is otherwise eligible to continue his candidature will be reinstated only after he has settled all outstanding fees and paid a re-registration fee of S$52.50.
  • A student who withdraws or leaves the University two or more weeks after the commencement of his candidature or the commencement of the semester is liable to pay the fees due for the semester.
