Non-subsidised rate: what an international student pays WITHOUT the MOE Tuition Grant, for new students admitted in AY2026/2027. With the Tuition Grant the same programme costs S$74,100/year (ASEAN nationals) or S$84,550/year (all other international students) -- but per the Faculty's own 'Study Duration and Bond Period' page, all students who accept the subsidy must fulfil a service bond administered by MOH Holdings after graduation: 4 years for Singapore Citizens, 5 years for Non-Singapore Citizens (Singapore Permanent Residents or International Students). NUS prices per Faculty/School rather than per specific degree. Identical non-subsidised ceiling (S$190,150) to NUS's Medicine (except Nursing) programme. Dental undergraduates additionally bear an estimated S$1,000 in incidental materials costs (plastic teeth, metal alloy, consumables) over the 4-year programme per the Faculty's page (figure quoted there is from the AY2024/2025 cohort's page, not re-confirmed for AY2026/2027).
