Tuition Fees: Full-time Undergraduate Programmes & Courses
Academic Year 2024

Tuition fees paid each semester are dependent on the number of courses taken. Tuition fees cover all study materials, classes, assignments and examinations. However, they do not include fees for textbooks and other additional items specified by Singapore University of Social Sciences from time to time.

You can pay your tuition fee via one of the various payment modes.

The subsidised fees for Singapore Citizens (SC) and Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR) exclude GST as this is separately subsidised by the government. The amounts listed for International Students (IS) and Unsubsidised Students are inclusive of prevailing GST.

Non-Accountancy courses:

Some courses in the full-time programmes are 2.5-cu courses, for example SUSS Core, electives. Most courses are 5-cu courses. The exceptions are the Integrative Course and the Applied Project, which are 10-cu courses. 

For Singapore Permanent Residents and International Students, should there be a change in your Nationality, you MUST inform Student Services at [email protected] as this will impact your tuition fees.
