Expert Answers
Which is better for me as an Indian student among NTU, ETH Zurich and NUS on fees, ranking and post-study work?
→None is better for everyone. ETH Zurich ranks in the top 10 and has the lowest fees, NUS ranks 10 and NTU 12. NTU and NUS both offer a one year Long-Term Visit Pass after graduating, while ETH Zurich offers non-EU graduates a six month job seeking visa.
How much would I pay each year for an MBA at Nanyang Technological University?
→The MBA at Nanyang Technological University typically costs international students about SGD 92,955 in total programme tuition. This is at the top end of the university's postgraduate range, which starts at SGD 21,000 a year, so check your specific programme fees.
For a one-year advanced diploma program, how many months of bank statements do I need to show for a Singapore Student Pass, and what is the typical range of funds required to cover tuition and living expenses?
→Prepare roughly 6 months of bank statements as a practical baseline for a Singapore Student Pass, since ICA's forms ask for financial-support information covering that period. Budget around SGD 25,000 to 35,000 total for a one-year advanced diploma, covering tuition plus about SGD 14,400 to 24,000 in living costs.
What are the approximate tuition fees for undergraduate and postgraduate programs at public and private universities in Singapore, including the range for foreign-affiliated programs and the impact of the MOE Tuition Grant?
→With the MOE Tuition Grant, public undergraduate fees run about SGD 18,000 to SGD 32,000 a year, rising to SGD 33,000 to SGD 45,000+ without it. Private and foreign-affiliated bachelor's degrees cost SGD 40,000 to SGD 85,000 total, and master's programs range from SGD 20,000 to SGD 60,000.
Can I afford to study a master's in logistics or hospitality in Singapore with a budget of around ₹5 lakh?
→No, a Rs 5 lakh budget does not cover a full master's in logistics or hospitality in Singapore, since tuition alone ranges from SGD 16,200 at MDIS to SGD 53,562 to 55,590 at NTU or NUS, far above the roughly SGD 7,500 that Rs 5 lakh converts to.
What Master's in Technology Engineering programs in Singapore cost between ₹20-25 lakhs?
→Yes. NTU's Master of Engineering and Master of Science laboratory-based programs cost around S$38,100 a year, about 24.8 lakh rupees at current rates. SUTD's Master of Engineering costs S$33,250 a year with the Graduate Assistantship Programme, near 21.6 lakh rupees.
What is the approximate tuition fee and overall budget I should expect for studying Supply Chain Management abroad in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore?
→Expect roughly £19,000 to £35,000 a year in UK tuition, CAD 35,000 to 95,000 in Canada, and SGD 40,000 to 56,000 in Singapore for a Supply Chain Management master's. Living costs add £12,000 to £18,000, CAD 15,000 to 25,000, and SGD 12,000 to 20,000 respectively across the three countries.
How feasible is it to start my master's in Malaysia and then transfer to Singapore, and what are the potential costs and visa requirements?
→It is feasible, but not a direct transfer. You must apply separately to a Singapore university, which decides on its own whether your Malaysian credits count. Malaysian master's tuition runs roughly RM 26,500 to RM 31,000, while Singapore tuition varies widely, and each country needs its own student visa.
