This course starts in 2027, but Imperial has only published fees up to 2026/27. Expect the 2027 figure to be higher.

Imperial publishes a separate "Overseas fee" for each course and each entry year. £45,500 is the figure Imperial published for 2026 entry, i.e. the 2026/27 academic year, on the 2026-entry version of this course page. The live course page now advertises 2027 entry, but at the time of capture Imperial had not set the 2027-entry Overseas fee: it shows "Not set" and quotes this £45,500 as a guide, so the 2027-entry cost is likely to be higher. Charged for every year of the course. Home (UK) students pay the government-capped fee instead (£9,790 per year for 2026 entry). Imperial also warns of extra course costs (field trips, books, protective clothing) on top of tuition.

Imperial has not yet set the Overseas fee for 2027 entry. This is its 2026–27 fee, which it gives as a guide, so 2027 entry is likely to cost more.

Stanford publishes one undergraduate tuition rate for all students; there is no separate international rate. Stanford runs on quarters, and the figure is published per quarter — the 2026-27 rates page covers the Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer quarters. Stanford states it has a limited amount of financial aid for international students, and international students who do not request aid on the admission application are not eligible to apply for aid at Stanford later in their undergraduate years.

Oxford bands the overseas course fee by subject; this is the rate published on this course's own page, within the University-wide 2027/28 overseas range of £39,620 to £66,580. College fee: none is payable on top of this figure. Oxford published separate university and college fees only up to 2018/19; from 2019/20 the course fee is a single published figure and the University course fees page states "The course fees you pay include your fees for both University and college services and are divided between the University (including your department or faculty) and your college on a formula basis." The page's fees section is headed "Please note the fees and funding information for 2027 entry." No admissions test is required for this course.

Caltech charges international and domestic undergraduates the same tuition: the Institute publishes a single undergraduate rate and no separate international rate exists, so this is an institution-wide figure that applies to all students rather than a price for this specific option. Published as a nine-month, full academic-year figure. Caltech's academic year runs on three terms (fall, winter, spring) and the catalog states that tuition, fees, housing and food are divided evenly between them; the annual figure is recorded here as published and has not been converted to a per-term rate. Not included: mandatory fees of $2,655, housing $12,711 and food/meals $9,285, a one-time $600 Orientation Fee for entering undergraduates, and the Caltech Student Health Insurance Plan (waivable with comparable coverage). Financial aid for international undergraduates (verified on caltech.edu): admissions is need-blind for domestic students but need-aware for international students because the international aid fund is limited (www.admissions.caltech.edu/afford); international students must apply for aid as an incoming first-year or they may not apply in later years, no aid is available to international transfer or 3/2 entrants, and international students are not eligible for US Federal Student Aid (www.finaid.caltech.edu/applying/international-students).

Non-subsidised rate: what an international student pays WITHOUT the MOE Tuition Grant. With the Tuition Grant the same programme costs S$18,050/year (ASEAN nationals) or S$21,400/year (all other international students), but the grant carries a bond — non-Singaporean recipients must serve a three-year service obligation with a Singapore entity after graduating. The page states subsidised international and non-subsidised fees are inclusive of GST (prevailing GST 9%); Singapore Citizen/PR fees are exclusive of GST. NUS prices per College/Faculty/School rather than per degree: this is the 'Design and Engineering' row. The College of Design and Engineering has two further rows that do NOT apply to this programme — Built Environment (S$34,250, cheaper) and Architecture/Landscape Architecture (S$40,450, dearer). Cohort-based — this rate applies to the AY2026/2027 intake for their whole candidature.

NTU's fee table splits non-subsidised international tuition into 'Lab Based' (S$40,600/year) and 'Non-Lab Based' (S$36,350/year) tiers under the row 'All Programmes (except for those listed below)' -- the exceptions named elsewhere on the page are Accountancy/Business-related degrees, Medicine, and the Renaissance Engineering Programme, none of which this programme is. Engineering, natural-science and computing degrees are laboratory-based instruction, so the Lab Based figure applies here; NTU's page does not spell out the lab/non-lab designation by named school, so this is the collector's read of the general classification rather than a school-by-school statement. This is the NON-subsidised rate, i.e. what an international student pays without Singapore's MOE Tuition Grant. With the Tuition Grant the same seat costs S$18,050/year (ASEAN nationals) or S$21,400/year (all other international students, both inclusive of GST) -- but accepting the grant binds the (non-Singaporean) recipient to a three-year work-in-Singapore service obligation after graduating, so the subsidised figure is not recorded as the headline fee. 'Annual tuition fee is fixed at the 2026 rate for the duration of the degree programme' -- NTU labels this by admission cohort year ('Accepted Programme Offer in 2026') rather than an academic-year range, hence the period label rather than the academic year.

Penn publishes one tuition rate for all undergraduates regardless of nationality, identical across its undergraduate schools (College of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Wharton, Nursing). A mandatory $8,308/year fee applies on top.

$73,946/yr is Cornell's 2026-27 undergraduate tuition for out-of-state (non-New-York-resident) students at any Cornell college, and for New York residents at the endowed colleges (which includes the College of Engineering) — this is the rate every international student pays. New York residents at the three state "contract colleges" (Agriculture and Life Sciences, Human Ecology, Industrial and Labor Relations) instead pay a lower $49,816/yr; that discount is tied to New York State residency, not citizenship, and does not apply to international students. Confirmed by Cornell's own news office: "For 2026-27, undergraduate tuition will be $73,946, a 3.76% increase, for out-of-state residents attending any of Cornell's colleges and New York state residents attending the endowed colleges... the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering."

CUHK publishes one flat annual tuition rate for all non-local (international, mainland Chinese and other non-Hong-Kong-resident) undergraduates, regardless of Faculty or major -- HK$214,000 for the 2026-27 academic year, with any further increase for the 2026 cohort capped at 3% a year. CUHK's own term for this population is 'Non-local Students' rather than 'international'.

UNSW's own published "2026 Indicative first year full fee" for international students in the Faculty of Science, described on the page as "based on an estimated average using historical student enrolment patterns... The amount you pay will vary depending on the calendar year you enrol, the courses you select and whether your study load is more or less than 1 Equivalent Full Time Student Load (8 courses per year)." Collected in August 2026, while UNSW's 2027-intake applications were open but before any 2027-labelled fee figure was published on this page, so the most recent confirmed (2026) rate is recorded rather than assumed to still apply, or guessed forward, for 2027 entry. The indicative full fee to complete the degree (tuition plus ≈AUD $1,000/yr study-related costs, compounded across the programme) is separately published as part of the same block. Other fees and charges (e.g. Student Services and Amenities Fee) are not included.
