Fees for Full-Time Diploma Courses

For AY2025, the Polytechnics will continue to use a cohort-based fee structure, which means that a student's tuition fee will stay the same throughout the entire course duration. Other fees may be subjected to changes during the course duration. New students enrolling in AY2025 will receive information about the fees during enrolment. Existing students will be notified through e-bills during the fee payment period.

The course fees are payable in two instalments. The fees for the 1st semester (new students) are due before enrolment, while the fees for the 2nd semester are payable after the semester begins. Refer to Modes of Payment for more information on how to pay for your course fees.

Below are the annual tuition and other fees for a full-time diploma student who is eligible and has opted into the Tuition Grant scheme.

Information is correct as of 21 March 2025, subject to changes.
