Studying at SMU is very affordable, because the tuition fees are highly subsidised by the Singapore Government. This substantial subsidy, equivalent to about 50% of the non-subsidised tuition fees comes in the form of a tuition grant administered by the Singapore Government. SMU adopts a fixed fee model, which guarantees that tuition fees remain unchanged throughout the normal duration of study at SMU (four years). This will give you peace of mind throughout your stay with us. However, tuition fees for every incoming freshmen group are subject to change from year to year.
Permanent residents and foreign students who are eligible and intend to take up the tuition grant must sign a Tuition Grant Deed, which will require them to work in Singapore-registered companies for three years upon graduation from SMU. Students who are not eligible, or choose not to apply for the grant, are required to pay the non-subsidised fees. The latter will not be bound by the 3-year work obligation.
