NTU, NUS tuition fees to rise in 2011
Edvantage | Fri Jan 14 2011
Most undergraduate courses to increase by 4%, other courses to see hike of 6%.
Both the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) on Friday announced an increase in tuition fees for undergraduate and postgraduate courses and financial aid schemes for the Academic Year (AY) 2011, which commences in August 2011.
Tuition fees for S'pore citizens
For NUS, the annual tuition fees for most undergraduate courses for SC will increase by 4%; this represents an annualised increase of 1.6% over four years. Fees for the incoming AY2011 intake of SC for graduate courses (coursework and research) will be adjusted upwards by 6%, with the exception of Nursing.
Fees for Architecture, Business, Law, Music, Nursing and Pharmacy will increase by 6%; or an annualised increase of 2.3% over four years.
This means that for an Arts and Social Sciences degree, one would have to fork out $7,170, instead of $6,890. While for a Business degree, fees will now be $7,940 instead of $7,490.
For NTU, the hike also marks an increase of 4 per cent and represents an annualised increase of 1.6% over 4 years.
Business programmes at NTU will increase by 6%. According to a press statement from NTU, the business programmes are conducted in smaller groups in a seminar-style format, which requires a lower student-to-faculty ratio, and thus incurs higher cost.
Current students already enrolled in NTU will not be affected by this revision. Similarly, returning National Servicemen will continue to enjoy tuition fees based on the year they were offered a place at the University.

Tuition Fees for Permanent Residents (PR) and International Students (IS) in NTU, NUS

Financial aid widely available
To help students who need assistance, NTU will set aside $5.65 million in financial aid in AY2011. This will provide for bursaries, Work Study Schemes, loans and emergency grants for NTU undergraduates. The total available financial aid, funded by the university and donations for AY2011 will amount to $14 million, same as in AY2010.
