Passing the research means that besides attending classes, it also needs to do research. Generally speaking, it is necessary to publish several articles in important academic journals and write a graduation thesis, which has passed the evaluation and defense inside and outside the school.

Passing the course means simply taking classes and then taking exams. There may be a lot of homework to meet the required number of courses. If all subjects pass the exam, they will graduate. Generally do not do graduation thesis. To put it bluntly, it means paying money, attending classes and getting a degree.

The business courses of National University of Singapore and NTU University are very different, aren't they? They are all famous. The specific courses offered will be somewhat different, such as MBA or MFE. It's your choice. However, the admission of both parties is quite difficult, and the competition for application is fierce every year. I don't know much about SMU, but in fact, the overall level of SMU is still slightly weaker than that of NUS and NTU.

Tuition, business is very expensive, much more expensive than science or liberal arts. Take MFE of NTU as an example. One-year tuition is 49,200 SGD, 25W RMB. Other projects are slightly up and down, but they are basically around S $40,000 to S $50,000.

Attached is an NTU website, which you can browse by yourself.

The cost of living is hard to say, depending on how you spend it. In Singapore, a person is about S $ 1000 a month, depending on your own living habits.
