NUS
Start study my postgraduate of Electronic Engineering at NUS. It is actually a Master of Science by coursework, so I just need to finish 10 module, by minimum CGPA 3.0.
The tuition fees is SGD 1990 / semester, and the is PR rate. For international student, I think the rate will be higher. So it depend how long you needed to complete it, for example, you take 2-3-2-3 course per semester, then you will need need 4 semester, but if you take 2 courses only per semester, then it would need 5 semester.
My classmate are mostly from India and China, most of them. Every year, NUS sponsored many scholarship for foreign student, mostly from China and India, to attract them to study at NUS. But they need to work at Singapore for > 3 years, after graduation, unless you can prove that you are unable to be employed.
According from my Singaporean friend, sometimes they felt like NUS is not build for them, but for all foreigner. In order to get into NUS, they either need to be high-flyer at JC (Junior College, A level, just like STPM at Malaysia), or they had to study at Singapore Polytechnic, and score a very high pointer. But for foreigner, the standard seems lower a bit. So it is not easy for Singaporean to get in to NUS, for those who get in, most of them are high-flyer during JC.
Sometimes I feel sorry about Singaporean, because the community is very competitive, and the government doesn't really have protective measure to protect them for all outsider. And they had to push themselves to be competitive, and this whole thing bring the small country up to 1st class country. So the government shape the people.
