Student's Pass
International students have to apply for a Student's Pass from the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) in order to pursue a full-time course of study in Singapore. The Student's Pass is only issued to full-time students and not to part-time students. International students who wish to pursue programmes on a part-time basis should obtain employment in Singapore first before applying for admission to the University and should ensure that they are permitted to work and reside in Singapore throughout the course of their study by the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority.
Passport holders of specific countries, including China and India, must have a valid visa before entering Singapore.
The University will assist successful international applicants in their applications for the Student's Pass. The costs, if any, connected with such application will be borne by the student.
