Tuition Fees

Tuition fees for full-time diploma programmes# at NP are highly subsidised by the Singapore Government for eligible students under the Tuition Grant Scheme. For AY2024, the polytechnics will continue to adopt a cohort-based fee structure, which means that fees will remain constant for the entire duration of the course.

The Government will continue to absorb the GST chargeable on tuition fees payable by Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident Students who are under the Tuition Grant Scheme.

The tuition fees for International Students are inclusive of 9% GST.

The table below shows the annual subsidised tuition fee payable by students enrolling in a full-time diploma course and who have opted for the Tuition Grant Scheme.

Tuition fees are reviewed annually and adjusted where necessary to cover the cost of education and enable the polytechnic to invest in delivering high-quality education.

The Government continues to heavily subsidise the cost of a polytechnic education for Singaporeans.
