Corporate Subscription Programme (UNP)

No, only corporations are eligible to subscribe.

Corporations can subscribe for day student places at either the Dover Campus or the East Campus or both.

UNP places are not transferable between campuses.

No, applications can only be made through either the normal admission process or the UNP but not both for any given school year.

If a child applies through the normal admission process and is not offered a place at the College, then the child is eligible to be nominated through the UNP in the next school year, provided they meet the entry criteria.

Yes, nominees must meet UWCSEA’s Admissions requirements, including but not limited to entry criteria applicable at the time of nominating.

The Admissions Department will pre-screen all potential UNP Nominees to ensure that the student meets the College’s entry criteria. If the potential UNP Nominee does not meet the entry criteria of the College, corporations are not obligated to commit to a UNP subscription.

Corporations that subscribe to the UNP are able to offer key personnel relocating to Singapore places at one of Singapore’s most highly-regarded international schools for their children.

UWCSEA does not offer any UNP places in Kindergarten 2 at Dover Campus.

No direct entry is available into IGCSE Grade 10 or to Grade 12, as they are the second year of a two-year course.

A limited number of UNP places are available in each grade each school year, excluding Kindergarten 2 at Dover Campus.

The number of available places for UNP Nominees is capped at a maximum of 10% of intake, at each campus, in any given school year.

The list of UNP subscribers is confidential. If you are interested in finding out whether your corporation subscribes, please contact your HR Department.

We are happy to provide additional information about the UNP which you can share with your employer.

Corporations must apply to nominate a student for K1–Grade 8 pre-screening by 1 April of the year they are seeking August entry for.

For Grade 9, 10 and 11 entry, nominations must be made by 31 January of the year the student is seeking August entry for, to allow for their participation in the High School application process. 

Corporations can apply to nominate a student for K1–Grade 8 pre-screening after 1 April, however after this date nominees that meet the entry criteria will be placed at the top of the application roll for their relevant grade.

After 1 April, nominees that qualify for K1–Grade 8 are only eligible for leaver places and will only be offered a place as and when one becomes available.

The UNP subscription must be paid in full before a nominee is placed on the application roll. The position on the application roll will be determined by the date the nominees complete application is received and the UNP subscription has been fully paid.

The College can place nominees, up to and including the start of Term 2 (January entry), for Grade 8 and below, as and when late leaver places become available. However, new nominees for Grades 9 and above will only be accepted for the August intake to start at the beginning of each school year.

The corporate subscriber can nominate another employee’s child provided the UNP subscription for that place has not expired.

The UNP place is valid for eight years of continuous use. However, if the corporate subscriber is unable to fill the vacated place immediately, then the breaks in use will not be counted. In this instance the place will expire after 12 school years.

A place that is used for less than a school year will be considered as a full year of utilisation.

The UNP Subscription Deposit will be deducted from the final invoice for successful subscriptions or forfeited if the prospective subscriber withdraws the subscription. If the withdrawal is due to the potential nominee not meeting the entrance criteria of the College, the Subscription Deposit will be refunded in full.

UNP places cannot be traded, and are non-refundable or transferable.

Funds from the UNP have enabled UWCSEA to initiate a number of programmes including: increasing the number of scholarships, contributing to development of sustainability initiatives to support learning, providing staff with outstanding professional development opportunities and building an endowment fund.
