SIT's engineering degrees are Bachelor of Engineering with Honours programmes, offered in specialisations such as Aircraft Systems, Civil, Computer, Electrical and Electronic, and Engineering Systems. They are built around SIT's applied model, with industry placements and work-integrated learning. For international students, the cost depends on the credit count of the specific degree, so the per-credit fee matters more than a single headline price.
This guide covers the admissions picture, the fees, English requirements, and what to expect after graduation. Where a figure could not be confirmed from SIT's own pages, we say so.
SIT Engineering Acceptance Rate
SIT does not publish an acceptance rate for its engineering degrees that we could verify. Admission depends on your qualification and each specialisation's intake. Check SIT's admissions pages for current intake data before you plan around a specialisation.
Tuition and Cost of Attendance
For AY2026, SIT's published per-credit unit fee for Engineering programmes for non-ASEAN international students is S$575.52, inclusive of 9 percent GST. Engineering degrees have different credit counts. The Computer Engineering and Aircraft Systems Engineering honours degrees are listed at 180 credits, and Civil and Electrical and Electronic Engineering at 240 credits. Your total is the per-credit fee multiplied by the credits in your degree, so check SIT's official tuition page for the exact total for your specialisation.
- Living costs in Singapore: Singapore is an expensive city. We did not verify a current living cost figure from an official source.
- Financial support: Singapore's Tuition Grant generally comes with a work obligation in Singapore after graduation. Check SIT's financial aid pages for eligibility.
Admission Requirements
For international applicants with qualifications from outside Singapore, the core requirements are:
- Completed secondary education, with official transcripts and certified translations
- The qualification SIT requires for your education system, with the subjects it specifies for engineering, such as mathematics and science
- An English proficiency test score, unless exempt
- A completed application through SIT's admissions portal by the published deadline
Confirm the subject requirements for engineering on SIT's international qualifications page.
How to Get Into SIT Engineering
-
Check the subject requirements first. Engineering degrees usually require specific maths and science subjects, so confirm these before you apply.
-
Book your English test early. Sources give conflicting IELTS minimums, so check SIT's current requirement before you book.
-
Calculate your total fee. Multiply the per-credit fee by the credits in your chosen specialisation, and confirm the figure on SIT's official page.
-
Plan funding and living costs. Arrange these before you apply for the student pass.
-
Apply for a student pass after admission. Your SIT offer is the starting point for the Singapore student pass process.
For context on the wider university, see the SIT guide.
English Proficiency Requirements
Secondary sources give conflicting minimum IELTS scores for SIT, with one listing an overall score of 6.5 and another an overall score of 6.0. We could not confirm the official figure, so check SIT's admissions site before you book a test.
Career Outcomes and Post-Study Relevance
SIT's engineering degrees include industry placements, which can help you build employer connections in Singapore and the region. We did not verify a headline employment rate or starting salary from an official source, so we have not quoted one.
Singapore's main post-study route for international graduates is the Employment Pass, which requires a job offer that meets the government's salary and eligibility rules. Check the Ministry of Manpower website for current requirements.
