      NOTES

      • All fees quoted above include prevailing GST unless otherwise stated.
      • Fees paid are non-refundable and non-transferable in the event of withdrawal of offer made, non‐ completion of the programme or switching to other coursework programme by the students.
      • There are penalties for late or partial fee payments.
      • Fees are subject to change or inflation.
      • Students who wish to read more than 10 courses should note that the per course fees are paid to the course host department and may not be refunded if they decide to drop the extra course(s). The application for the extra course(s) is also subject to approval by the course host department.

    Please refer to the pages below for details.

    Students enrolled in either the Track 1 or Track 2 pathway may be allowed to substitute up to two MA-courses with approved courses offered by other departments to fulfill the graduation requirements. For courses with matching levels coded as QFxxxx and DSAxxxx request for permission is not required.  For other courses, students must seek permission by writing to the Department before the start of course registration exercise. 

     

    Procedure:

    1. Go to NUSMODS to retrieve the course description of the course and send it together with your latest NUS / *Bachelor’s Degree transcript to Professor Chu Delin to seek his support to read the course.
    2. Once the request is supported, submit a “submit course request” through CourseReg. Please refer to the CourseReg schedule to find out the date when ‘Submit Course Request’ function is available in the system.
    3. Final approval can only be granted by the course host. For e.g. ST5202 is owned by Department of Statistics and Data Science. Hence, Department of Statistics and Data Science will make a decision on your request. 
    4. Students from AY2022/23 cohort onwards are to refer to your respective programme’s graduation requirement for course substitution criteria and eligibility. Students must seek permission by writing to the Department before the start of course registration exercise.
    5. Students are strongly encouraged to read up more information on CourseReg since all course registration must be done through this system.

       

      * for newly admitted students without NUS transcript only.

      Students are required to apply for Leave of Absence (LOA) if they have to be away during their candidature or are unable to read any modules in any semester.

       

      Application for leave of absence should be submitted prior to the start of the semester. If a student applies for LOA after the second instructional week of any semester, he/she will be liable to pay fees for the entire semester even if he/she did not register for any modules.


      All leave applications are to be submitted online. Students who are absent without leave are subject to disciplinary actions.

      Graduate students who have met their programme’s graduation requirements are not required to file for graduation as the department will be doing this for you. Please refer to the links below to obtain information on degree conferment, degree scroll/official transcript collection/delivery.

       

      Many of the basic elective courses are continuations for the undergraduate courses. We suggestion you plan carefully and use your first year for preparation.

      To help your preparation, we link some 3000 or 4000 level courses with their corresponding 5000 level ones. The courses in the bracket at least provide some basic background in the subject, even though they are not officially required as prerequisites.
