• Around SGD 16,500 - 19,000 (INR 11.91 - 13.72 Lakhs) for graduate programs, depending on the program

SIM follows a credit-based tuition system, meaning the total cost depends on the number of credits required to complete the program.

If a student takes an additional 5-credit course, the extra cost would be 5 × SGD 550, making the total tuition SGD 19,250 (INR 13.88 Lakhs).

For accommodation, food, transport, and other daily expenses, international students can expect to spend about SGD 1,500 - 2,450 per month (INR 1.08 - 1.77 Lakhs), depending on their lifestyle and type of housing.

What is the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) Partner Programme?

A partner program at the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) is a course offered in collaboration with an international university. In these programmes, students study at the SIM campus in Singapore, but the degree is awarded by the partner university.

The Singapore Institute of Management collaborates with over 30 international universities, including top institutions such as the University of Birmingham (UK), University at Buffalo (USA), RMIT University (Australia), University of London (UK), and Western Sydney University (Australia), allowing students to earn globally recognised degrees while studying in Singapore. The curriculum, academic standards, and assessments are usually set or approved by the partner university to ensure international quality.

For example, if a student enrols in a programme offered through SIM in partnership with the University at Buffalo, the student will study in Singapore at SIM but receive a degree from the University at Buffalo after graduation.

This helps international students receive a globally recognised degree while benefiting from Singapore’s education system and industry exposure.
