    completed in 12 to 24 months.

    4. How will the Undergraduate Certificate Course help me if I decide to enroll in the Bachelor of Technology
    degree programme subsequently?

    Certificate course candidates who have performed satisfactorily can enroll in the Bachelor of Technology
    degree programme, and the modules completed in the Course will be credited (with grades obtained) to
    count towards the fulfillment of the requirements of the Bachelor of Technology degree.

    5. Apart from the Course Fees, what other fees do I have to pay for a Certificate Course?

    The course fees for Certificate Courses range from S$7,245 - S$7,875 (inclusive of GST) before taking into
    account any MOE Course Fee subsidy.

    Types of Fees Amount (S$)


    Application Fee (payable one time only) 20.00
    Student Services Fee (payable in each semester) 48.90
    Administrative Fee (payable in each semester) 250.00

    Note:

    6. If two certificate courses contain common modules, and I have completed one of them, can I re-use the
    common modules completed in my first certificate course towards the fulfillment of the requirements of the
    second?

    Such double counting is permissible and you will be allowed to re-use the module(s) completed for the first
    certificate course in your second course. However, if you subsequently take up a 3rd certificate and wish to
    use those same modules again, a transfer fee of S$500 for each module will apply. No subsidy will be given
    for transfer fees.

    7. What are the Courses that are applicable for MOE subsidy?

    c) Undergraduate Certificate in Process Control & Optimization
    d) Undergraduate Certificate in Microelectronics

    eligible for the MOE course fee subsidy of 55% if I register for an Undergraduate Certificate Course listed in
    Qn 7?

    Yes, you are still eligible for the MOE course fee subsidy, but the subsidy will only apply to you whilst you are
    doing the certificate course. If you subsequently enroll for the Bachelor of Technology degree programme,
    the subsidy will no longer apply.

    9. What type of certificate will I receive after completion of the Course?

    You will be awarded a Certificate of Competence or its equivalent. The Certificate you will receive is
    dependent on how well you have performed for the modules in the Course.

    10. What is the application deadline for these Courses?

    The general timeline is as follows:

     For August intake, deadline is early April


     For January intake, deadline is early October
