The National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) are two prominent universities in Singapore, and both are publicly funded institutions. The tuition fees for international students are typically higher than those for domestic students.

However, the specific tuition fees for each university and program can vary, so it’s essential to refer to the most recent information available on their official websites or other official sources to get accurate and up-to-date details.

The Cost (& Average) of University Tuition Fees in Singapore

For a Singapore citizen, the total tuition fees of a four-year course at a local university cost between $22,500 to $54,000 (rough average of $38,250). In contrast, a student without subsidies will have to fork out between $121,324 to $182,400 (rough average of $151,862), which is 297% more than what a Singapore citizen pays.

In addition to tuition fees, the estimated cost of living for a student is $10,300 per year; hence, the total living expenses for four years amount to $41,200.

In summary, the total estimated cost of obtaining a university degree as a Singapore citizen is a rough average of $79,450, including the cost of living.
