*Service Obligation: An individual international student who chooses to pay fees at a subsidized rate will need to take up a 3-year service obligation. As part of the service obligation, the foreign student is required to work in Singapore-based companies upon graduation. Singapore-based companies refer to local companies and international companies that have a base in Singapore which is registered with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). The duration of the service obligation is fixed at 3 years regardless of the duration of study at subsidized rates.
