2023 NUS survey found cost to be key hurdle to returning to school.
SINGAPORE – Individuals keen on pursuing a master’s degree at the National University of Singapore will pay 40 per cent less in tuition fees for more than 80 such programmes from August.
These courses include Master of Computing, Master of Science in Applied Biomedicine, and Master of Science in Finance. The rebate does not apply to other research-based and coursework programmes like Dentistry, Law, and Public Health. The survey involved more than 2,300 NUS alumni, and found that more than 60 per cent of them had participated in some form of education in the past two years, and close to 90 per cent planned to take up continuing education in the next 12 months.
“We hope that this rebate will alleviate cost considerations for learners, and that you will be encouraged to learn new skills and develop yourselves further along your career journey,” said Prof Tan.Mr Alastair Chan, who works in the MedTech industry, will be benefitting from the 40 per cent rebate as he starts his masters of science programme in applied biomedicine in August 2024.
In March 2024, the NUS AI institute was set up, bringing together AI researchers across the university, he said. It aims to boost AI research, education and industry partnerships, and also to study its ethical use to address risks across various fields.
