1. Government-subsidised graduate programmes

   The annual tuition fees for different categories of government-subsidised graduate programmes are set out here. The substantial tuition subsidy from the Government of Singapore is administered by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and is offered to all eligible students. Students need not apply for the MOE Subsidy if they are eligible.

   The fees for the Academic Year will be made available every March or April of the year. For example, fees for AY2019/2020 will be published in March/April 2019.

   • Service Obligation (SO) Scheme and Graduate Assistantship Programme (GAP)

   The University may deem it feasible, based on industry demand, to implement a Service Obligation (in some MOE-subsidised programmes) for International Students. For more information on Service Obligation scheme, please refer to: https://nusgs.nus.edu.sg/service-obligation-scheme/
   
   Students, who are required to pay Liquidated Damages (LD) to MOE for breaking the bond, would have to pay the total amount of MOE Subsidy under Service Obligation (reflected in their individual student bill) plus 10% interest rate compounded at the end of each academic year.
