Save over S$20,000 with NUS’ 40% discount on 86 master’s programmes. Here’s the list

National University of Singapore seeks to draw more students to its advanced degree courses, launching a rebate scheme for master’s studies in over 80 subjects this August.

As announced by NUS president, prof. Tan Eng Chye, under Master’s by Coursework Enhanced Tuition Fee Rebate Singapore citizens and permanent residents will be able to enjoy 40 per cent off in tuition fees for a limited time (from Academic Year 2024/2025 to Academic Year 2026/2027).

Notably, this includes self-funded programmes only, so students eligible for MOE subsidies do not qualify.

This tuition fee rebate does not apply to courses that are funded by SkillsFuture Singapore.

Nevertheless, since fees for these courses range from S$40,000 to S$66,000, the savings can easily exceed S$20,000, making it an attractive career upgrade path.

Something for everyone

The breadth of the offer is also impressive, with courses ranging from music through engineering to medicine, with only research-based and coursework programmes like dentistry, law and public health excluded from the scheme.

Among the more interesting and current ones, you can pursue a multidisciplinary degree in Industry 4.0 (Fourth Industrial Revolution), and there are two programs in Artificial Intelligence as well as Applied Biomedicine and Biomedical Engineering.

There are also two double degree programmes in History and International Affairs (for those less inclined towards sciences) and a host of courses in environment and sustainability.

Who can apply?

Any Singapore citizen on Permanent Resident (PR) is eligible for the discount. You don’t really have to apply for it, as it’s automatically deducted upon admission. You don’t have to be an NUS alumnus either.

The offer applies to self-funded students applying for the Academic Years 2024, 2025 and 2026, either in full or part-time track, though it cannot be combined with scholarships or other financial aid — what you see is what you get.

As there’s currently no word on it being extended beyond that period, it’s best to apply earlier, rather than later to make the most of it.
