11 Fees and Scholarships AY2010/11 cohort and after: Students in a DDP will pay the prevailing tuition fee of the Faculty/School offering the home course for the first four years of study. The prevailing tuition fee refers to the “Direct Payment” amount after taking into consideration the Tuition Grant provided by the Ministry of Education. For the fifth year of study, in view of limited or no Tuition Grant from the Ministry of Education, the fees payable are pegged to the home course as follows: DDPs where one of the degrees is in Engineering: two times the prevailing fee However, in view of the financial implications for students, NUS will offer scholarships to all DDP students (no application needed) to help offset part of the tuition fee payable in the fifth year. In other words, For Engineering DDP’s, students will only need to pay the prevailing tuition fee of the Faculty/School offering the home course; Fees & Scholarships Fees & Scholarships Double Degree in Engineering & BBA/BBA(Hons)

12 Exit Students can choose to leave the programme. Please note that the decision to withdraw is irrevocable.
