Tuition for international students without the MOE Tuition Grant runs from around S$33,000 a year at the lower end of NUS's and NTU's mainstream faculties to S$45,000 to S$62,000 a year at Business, Law or SUTD, which charges one flat rate across all programmes. Students who receive the Tuition Grant pay roughly 40 to 60 percent less, in exchange for a three-year bond to work for a Singapore entity after graduating. On top of tuition, expect a Student's Pass processing fee of S$45, an issuance fee of S$60, and S$30 more for a multiple-journey visa where required. Living costs are the other major expense: S$1,200 to S$2,500 a month is a realistic range depending on whether a student lives in university housing or rents privately, before food, transport and personal spending.
