FAQ for MSc by Coursework Programmes
General
Coursework programmes are designed for university graduates who wish to advance their knowledge and careers in their chosen fields of specialization.
The MSc degrees are awarded once the candidates pass the relevant examinations in a prescribed number of courses. Candidates may also undertake a project in lieu of a certain number of courses. Most of the coursework programmes are offered on both full-time and part-time basis.
Dependent’s Pass holders are to apply to study full-time instead. You are required to apply for a Student’s Pass. However, if the duration of the course is shorter than the duration of the Dependant’s Pass, you may opt to be issued with a Letter of Consent (LOC) to study. You are encouraged to liaise directly with ICA on this.
International students on Student’s Pass are not allowed to switch to part-time study, unless they have obtained a valid Work Pass in Singapore.
