How to apply
Apply to each university
NUS, NTU, SMU and the others each run their own online application for international qualifications.
Check the dates for your qualification
Application windows depend on which diploma you hold and open from the autumn before entry.
Add tests where they help
Some universities ask for or welcome SAT or ACT scores for certain qualifications.
Understand the Tuition Grant
International students can take a government Tuition Grant that lowers fees, in exchange for working in Singapore for three years after graduating.
Cost
Fees are set by each university and by course. With the Tuition Grant they fall substantially, but the work obligation is binding.
Language
English is the language of teaching.
Good to know
Courses such as medicine, law and architecture hold interviews or their own tests.
