Academic work at NUS Engineering cannot be completed
satisfactorily without adequate proficiency in English. This point is

Engineering submit regular reports, take written examinations and
are expected to participate actively in classroom
discussions. International applicants may demonstrate their English
proficiency by means of TOEFL/IELTS/GRE test scores. Applicants
must be able to submit at least one score/result e.g.
TOEFL/IELTS/GRE, as part of the application.
Sealed Reports
Applicants should submit an official transcript of academic reco
rds from each university attended. You are responsible for re
questing your transcript from the university concerned. Gradu
ates from this university can submit certified copies of the offi
cial transcripts of their academic records with their applications
. For foreign graduates, the official transcript must be enclos
ed in a SEALED envelope with its flap bearing the security seal of
the University and the signature of the Registrar or his

Tuition Fees
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
comes in the form of a MOE Subsidy which 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. International Students reading a government-subsidised programme can apply for
the Service Obligation Scheme to pay reduced tuition fees. Most government-subsidised
programmes are deemed feasible by the University to offer the Service Obligation Scheme
except for programmes listed here.
Tuition fees for self-funded graduate coursework programmes can be found at the respective
programme websites. The list of self-funded graduate coursework programmes is set out here.
Refund Policy
Students who leave the University, either through withdrawal of their own accord or termination
of candidature by the University, after Instructional Week 2 of the semester will be liable to pay
fees for the entire semester. Requests for refund will generally not be considered.

NUS has an array of financial assistance and scholarships/awards available to help graduate
