The tuition fee for "Continuing Students" is a quarter of the full-time tuition fee, rounded up to the nearest five dollars per term and has to be settled full in a single payment. For 2024-25, the "Continuing Student" fee is $5,265 per term.
Research postgraduates who are studying beyond the normal period of their program and have met all program and residency requirements of the University within the first three calendar months of the start of a regular term are entitled to a refund of 50% of the tuition fee paid for that term. The students must have submitted their completed thesis within the three months period. This refund mechanism is applicable to both full-time and part-time students who have ONLY their research thesis to complete for submission in the last regular term of study. Students who have enrolled for courses other than MPhil/Doctoral Thesis Research in the last term of study are not entitled to the refund.
Permitted leave from study and suspension period are not counted towards the normal period of study.
