For programmes that are deemed feasible (based on industry demand) to implement a service obligation, the self-
financing international student may be offered the option of signing the service obligation agreement in exchange for
reduced tuition fees. However, the student can only apply for service obligation with MOE on condition that they have
not previously enjoyed MOEs government subsidy in another graduate programme (see Note 4 below).
International students who have signed the Service Obligation Agreement are required to work in Singapore-based
companies for 3 years upon graduation. Singapore-based companies refer to local and international companies that have a
base in Singapore that is registered with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) as well as companies
of such local and international companies registered with ACRA that are based overseas. For further information on
service obligation, you may check from MOEs website at
https://tgonline.moe.gov.sg/tgis/normal/studentViewServiceObligationSubsidyInfo.action or send an email to
gdhelp@nus.edu.sg.
NOTE:
1. All fees shown here are in Singapore dollars and, except for tuition fees, include the prevailing GST. The GST for tuition
fees is absorbed by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
2. Unless otherwise indicated, all fees are payable on a semester basis.
3. Fees published in this document are indicative only. Fees for subsequent academic years are subject to review by the
Ministry of Education.

study and who are presently not residing in Singapore may, subject to approval, be granted
deferment for at most one semester. All requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Overseas applicants who are not residing in Singapore or not working in Singapore are only
eligible to apply for admission to pursue graduate programmes on a full-time basis. For
candidates who are not applying for any scholarship, do accompany your applications with any

(v) Cost of economy travel directly from Singapore back to the home country upon successful
completion of the course of study leading to the award of the degree.
The initial award is for an academic year (2 semesters) and may be extended by a semester,
subject to the scholar's performance. The scholar has no obligation or bond to be employed by
NUS or in Singapore, but is expected to complete the designated M.Sc. degree and return to the
home country.

who wish to specialize in the management of IP in a technology related environment. This is a multidisciplinary field
which spans law, management science and engineering.
Curriculum Requirements
The curriculum for the MSc in IP Management consists of mainly two parts: Intellectual Property Law and Management

IMMIGRATION MATTERS
International students who are successful in gaining admission to their respective full-time M.Sc. programmes must note
that their offer of admission is conditional upon the successful application of their student passes.
The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has implemented a web-based system for student pass application
called the Student Pass On-line Application & Registration (SOLAR).
When full-time international students have been offered admission to our programmes, the University will proceed with
the student pass application via SOLAR and also write to inform candidates how to complete the application process
at their end. After candidates complete the application through SOLAR, ICA will process the application.
For candidates from countries which require a visa to enter Singapore (details can be found at
http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=96&secid=94), the University will be applying for the visa cum student pass via
SOLAR. If the student pass application is approved, the In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter, which also serves as a single-
journey entry visa, will be sent to the relevant candidates. This letter and the valid passport must be presented to the Duty
Officer at the immigration checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore.
For candidates from a non-visa required country (e.g. Malaysia, Indonesia etc.), candidates can collect the approval letter
at the point of registration with the University.
On your arrival in Singapore, you will be given a Social Visit Pass for a minimum of 2 weeks at the airport or point of
entry. You may be asked to show your Letter of Admission. After registering as a student and obtaining your student
registration card, you must apply for a Student Pass at least 4 working days before the expiry of your Social Visit Pass at
one of the following centres :
1. Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) booth
National University of Singapore
(Venue to be confirmed)
Available before start of semester (dates to be confirmed).

(https://eappointment.ica.gov.sg/ibook/index.do)
before going to ICA Building.
Your passport will be returned within 1 week. Bring along
your Letter of In-Principle Approval (with Graduate
Studies Offices endorsement).
Some applications for student pass may take a longer duration to process. In some instances, the processing time may
take up to 6 weeks. For such situations, the candidates Social Visit Pass will be extended by ICA accordingly.
Please note that spouses and/or children of international M.Sc. students are not sponsored by the University for their visa
applications. Application of their Social Visit Pass (SVP) has to be made directly at the Visitor Services Centre, 4
th
floor
Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and a bond is required. The amount of the bond is to be established by ICA.
Student must have already obtained a Student Pass issued by the ICA at the time of application. A local sponsor
(Singapore Citizen/Permanent Resident) is required in order to apply for a SVP for spouse and/or children. The SVP
granted will normally be for up to a maximum period of 6 months. It is renewable, subject to ICAs approval.
