Universities In Singapore - From The Cheapest To The Most Expensive
This article was originally on GET.com at: Universities In Singapore - From The Cheapest To The Most Expensive
Most people in Singapore agree with the idea that it pays to have a degree in Singapore. But the reality is that most people don't have the money to pay for a degree from their own pockets. Some of us will resort to education loans which is definitely one way to do it, but make sure you've had a look at these 7 interest free student loans to see if you're eligible before you settle on one.
If going to university is your next step in life, then GET.com has compiled a list of universities in Singapore arranged from the cheapest to the most expensive, so you can get a rough estimation of how much you will need to prepare for school. When coming up with this list, we've decided to use the Bachelor of Accountancy as a control course, since it is one of the 4 degrees you can consider for easy employment in Singapore for illustration purposes. We used each school's per annum fees for this comparison.

5. Kaplan

At Kaplan, because the Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting there can be done in 16 months, they count the fees in its entirety, which is a few hundred dollars shy from $20,000, costing $18,297 in total.
Which Uni Suits You?
The Straits Times reported recently that university fees were projected to go up in 2030 to cost as much as 70.2% of a person's yearly income.
While this is still not the case today (not yet at least), university fees in Singapore have already started to increase every year since 2010. If you want to get enrolled in uni, maybe it's time to do it soon before the prices start to go up exorbitantly.
If you're lucky enough to not have to think about your finances when it comes to paying for your school fees, then maybe you might even want to consider going to an overseas uni. Even though sometimes it may cost a lot more, it's okay to spend on an overseas degree especially if the courses you want to do are not readily available here in Singapore.
