The cost of a Master’s degree in Singapore can vary widely depending on several factors, including the university or institution, the specific program, the type of Master’s degree (coursework-based or research-based), the duration of the program, and whether you are an international student or a local resident. Additionally, the cost of living in Singapore should also be taken into consideration.
- Local Students (Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents):
- Master’s by Coursework: The cost can range from around SGD 30,000 to SGD 80,000 or more, depending on the program and university per year.
- Master’s by Research: These programs might have lower tuition fees compared to coursework-based programs. Costs can vary widely but could start from around SGD 40,000 to SGD 100,000.
- International Students:
- Master’s by Coursework: Tuition fees for international students are generally higher than for local students. Costs can range from SGD 50,000 to SGD 120,000 or more per year.
- Master’s by Research: Similarly, research-based programs for international students might range from SGD 15,000 to SGD 40,000 or more.
Furthermore, living expenses in Singapore, including accommodation, food, transportation, and other costs, should also be factored into your budget when considering the total cost of pursuing a Master’s degree in the country.
