Singapore Universities & admissions - Application process

Yes, most universities in Ireland and Singapore accept TOEFL iBT instead of IELTS; Trinity College Dublin requires 90, NUS typically needs 85, and NTU sets its own program-specific minimums, though a fully English-taught bachelor's degree may also qualify you for a waiver.

No, NUS and NTU do not offer general application fee waivers for international students; NUS charges S$20 and NTU charges S$25 for undergraduate applications, and both explicitly describe these fees as non-refundable and non-waivable, though some graduate programs set their own separate fee policies.

Yes, visiting our office gives you a personalised walkthrough of university fees, required documents and Singapore's Student's Pass process, which is submitted online 2 to 3 months before your course starts, costs SGD 45 to process and SGD 60 upon issuance, plus a possible SGD 30 visa fee.

Yes, if your chosen Singapore university requires it, you must take IELTS, TOEFL, PTE Academic or another accepted test. Universities like NTU and NUS may waive this requirement if your Standard 12 schooling was conducted entirely in English, so check your specific program's admission criteria before applying.

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.
