All students, whether registered on a full-time or part-time basis, are charged the miscellaneous student fees. These are due at the same time as the tuition fees. 

Miscellaneous student fees help meet costs incurred by the University in providing services to the student community that are either not covered or only partially covered by the tuition fee and government subsidy. These services include healthcare for students; facilitating student cultural, social and recreational programmes; and maintaining the shuttle bus service, IT network and other essential campus infrastructure and services.

For information on the miscellaneous fees applicable to your intake, please refer to the Office of the University Registrar's (OUR) page.

The MSc IDE program does not offer full scholarships at this stage. However, we provide the CIDER Fellowship, which significantly reduces financial barriers by covering 60% of the tuition fee — a substantial rebate for eligible candidates. You may also wish to explore other scholarships listed below, offered by reputable organizations. These scholarships may cover various aspects of your study expenses. Please review each option carefully to determine your eligibility and application requirements.
