In this video, I finally sit down and talk about the cost of studying medicine in Singapore—because I keep seeing this question pop up in my comments and IG DMs. For my international viewers, I also do a quick explainer on how med school works here: Singapore only has two undergraduate medicine programmes (both are 5-year courses)—NUS Yong Loo Lin and NTU Lee Kong Chian (my school). Then we get into the actual numbers. I share the latest annual tuition fees (AY2022/2023) for NUS Medicine and NTU Medicine across Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents, and International Students. A key thing I highlight is that once you matriculate, your tuition fee stays the same every year for the full five years—even if the published fees increase for future cohorts. I also go beyond tuition, because that’s honestly not the only cost you’ll face. I talk about hall/rent (with my own example of a non-aircon double room at about $300/month, and rooms that can go up to ~$600/month), monthly living expenses (food, transport, entertainment—often ~$200–$500/month), and med-specific essentials like a stethoscope, white coats, name tags, and examination tools. I end by teasing part 2, where I’ll go through scholarships and bursaries to help reduce the financial burden.
