The PhD programme provides full scholarships for all full-time PhD students on a competitive basis. Subject to satisfactory progress, a scholarship holder will receive waiver of application fees, registration fees and tuition fees in addition to a monthly living stipend. Students may also receive additional funding for conference travels and higher scholarship through research assistantship (RA), teaching assistantship (TA), or industry grants. Foreign students who choose to self-finance their studies can choose to pay tuition fees at a subsidized fee rate, but will need to work in Singapore based companies for three years after graduation.
