UBD prices its Bachelor of Engineering as a whole-programme fee, not a yearly rate: the table is headed 'Programme Fee', the row is labelled '[4 years]', and the page states 'All tuition fees charged for Full Time and Part Time students are of the same amount, not based on the duration of their candidature.' The same page also says 'For undergraduate, all fees are charged yearly', which is the billing cadence — the programme total is collected in yearly instalments — so over the standard four years this works out at B$10,500 a year. Brunei citizens and permanent residents pay B$36,000 for the same degree. On top of tuition UBD charges an acceptance fee of B$100, a registration fee of B$100, a refundable B$250 programme deposit and a B$60/year students' association fee, and requires insurance cover for the Discovery Year. UBD's own note that 'Fees Regulations and tuition fees are correct at time of publication and may subject to revision from time to time' applies. The Brunei Darussalam Government Scholarship for Foreign Students (BDGS) can cover tuition plus living costs in full for successful applicants and is recorded separately as a national scholarship.

BSc (Hons) · Physics

BND 18,500 total for the course

Verified

2026/2027 · Faculty-wide rate · International students

UBD prices bachelor degrees as a WHOLE-PROGRAMME fee rather than per year, split into a lab-based and a non-lab-based tier, with several programmes priced separately and higher. The Faculty of Science's Bachelor of Science (Honours) -- one degree offered with several majors, all on the same UBD programme page -- falls in the LAB-BASED tier at B$18,500 for the whole degree, against B$14,000 for a Brunei citizen or permanent resident. For contrast, UBD's non-lab-based tier is B$16,500, and that is what the School of Business and Economics degrees already recorded in this file pay. ONE HONEST CAVEAT: UBD publishes the two tiers but not a list of which programmes sit in each, so the assignment is read from the nature of the degree rather than from a UBD list. It is unambiguous for the laboratory sciences; a Mathematics applicant in particular should confirm with UBD whether their major is billed at the lab-based B$18,500 or the non-lab-based B$16,500 before budgeting.

UBD does not publish a fee for each Bachelor of Science major. Its 2026/2027 fee table prices GenBESTARI bachelor's degrees in only two bands — B$16,500 for the whole programme for international students on a non-lab-based degree, B$18,500 on a lab-based one — and nowhere on UBD's own site states which band a given BSc major falls into, so no figure is recorded here rather than one being guessed. For comparison, UBD does price its Bachelor of Engineering explicitly, at B$42,000 for the four-year programme for international students. Expect additional charges of a B$100 acceptance fee, a B$100 registration fee, a refundable B$250 programme deposit and a B$60/year students' association fee.

BND 250per month

The Core Residential College, on-campus, self-contained single-gender apartments, utilities included. This is the rate UBD publishes on its Student Exchange Programme page: the Global Relations Office books this accommodation for exchange and non-graduating students, subject to availability, the reservation form is due at least a month before arrival, and a deposit of one month's rent in Brunei-dollar cash is payable on top.

After you graduate

Rules read 19 Aug 2026

What Brunei's own immigration authority currently publishes. Not a ranking, not a guarantee, and not the same as what any agent or forum will tell you. Whether someone actually obtains residence depends on occupation, points, funds and policy that can change between application and graduation.

Route to permanent residence

Brunei's Department of Immigration and National Registration does not publish a distinct 'permanent residency' scheme separate from citizenship in the material this dataset could access. What it does publish, as part of the citizenship-application criteria described under citizenshipRoute, is that long-term lawful residence itself runs through holding a Residence Permit or Entry Permit (RP/EP) for a period of years — this dataset found no separate page describing how a foreign graduate obtains an RP/EP in the first place, or what conditions attach to it short of the naturalisation criteria that assume someone already holds one.

Route to citizenship

Brunei's Department of Immigration and National Registration (Jabatan Imigresen dan Pendaftaran Kebangsaan) publishes several citizenship application categories, most of them descent-based (through a Bruneian father, mother or adoptive parent). For someone born outside Brunei with no such family tie — the category realistically relevant to an international graduate — the published route is naturalisation 'under Chapter 8(1)' (Bab 8(1)), which requires: having been born outside Brunei; having held a Residence Permit or Entry Permit for not less than 20 years from its date of issue (specifically, having resided in Brunei Darussalam for not less than 20 of the 25 years immediately before applying); being 18 or older, in order to sit the Malay-language Written Test; good conduct; and having lived continuously in Brunei for the 2 years immediately before applying. An Oral Test option exists in place of the Written Test, but only for an applicant born before 1955 (or, if born after 1955, one who can prove they never attended school) — meaning a current-day international graduate would sit the Written Test. A further condition applies to a non-Malay, non-Muslim applicant specifically: they must show an understanding of Malay/Islamic customs and prohibitions, 'to ensure social harmony.' This dataset found no official Brunei page addressing whether dual nationality is permitted or whether a naturalising applicant must renounce their original nationality, so no claim is made on that point.

New entry added 19 August 2026. One Brunei government domain added to IMMIGRATION_DOMAINS in scripts/verify.mjs: immigration.gov.bn (Department of Immigration and National Registration, under the Ministry of Home Affairs — Brunei's actual immigration and citizenship-granting authority). gov.bn (the general government e-services portal, used only to locate the student-pass application procedure, which carried no work-rights content) was checked but not needed as a citation. workDuringStudy and postStudyWork are both left null: the Department's own student-pass application page (gov.bn/Lists/Service/NewDisplay.aspx?ID=224) describes only the application procedure and required documents for a student pass, with no stated work entitlement, hours limit, or distinct post-study job-search status; this dataset found no other official Brunei page stating one either, in contrast to most other countries in this dataset. This is recorded as an absence of published information, not as a confirmed 'no' — Brunei's foreign-labour system is otherwise built around employer-sponsored, quota-based work permits administered separately by the Department of Labour (labour.gov.bn), which was not researched further this pass. residencyRoute is thin for the same underlying reason: no distinct permanent-residency application process was found separate from the citizenship criteria that already assume RP/EP status. inDemandOccupations is left null: no shortage-occupation list was found on immigration.gov.bn. naturalisationStatus set to 'published-route' rather than 'no-published-route': the Immigration Department does publish real, followable criteria for someone born outside Brunei with no family tie (Chapter 8(1)) — 20 of the preceding 25 years' residence plus a Malay-language test — even though this is one of the most demanding routes recorded anywhere in this dataset; per the doc comment on ResidencyPathway.naturalisationStatus, this field records only whether criteria are published, never how attainable they are, and Brunei genuinely does publish an applicable route rather than none at all. citizenshipTerms records the Chapter 8(1) route, the only published category open to someone born outside Brunei with no Bruneian parent: 20 years holding a Residence Permit or Entry Permit, within the 25 years before applying. dualCitizenshipAllowed is null — no official Brunei page addressing renunciation was found this pass.
