What is the average salary after NUS MFin?

Question

Hema A · Accepted Answer

The average salary after NUS MFin is usually in the SGD 65,000&ndash;75,000 per year range for international graduates, based on recent placement reports. Roles in corporate banking, risk, and asset management tend to sit in this band, while investment banking and trading jobs can push compensation closer to SGD 90,000&ndash;100,000 annually.
One thing to keep in mind is that salaries for locals and PRs are often higher because they have fewer visa restrictions, making them more attractive to employers. For international students, breaking into front-office roles takes stronger credentials like CFA levels or prior IB internships. ROI is solid if a graduate manages to secure a Singapore role quickly, since the cost of the degree plus living comes to around SGD 100,000&ndash;110,000. Compared with similar programs in Hong Kong or London, the pay is competitive in Asia but slightly lower than London IB packages.

The first surprise for many students is that not everyone lands the same salary after NUS MFin. Outcomes vary a lot depending on role and residency status.

Entry-level corporate banking and risk roles often start around SGD 55,000&ndash;65,000 per year.
Wealth management and asset management jobs are closer to SGD 70,000.
The few who secure investment banking roles can cross SGD 90,000&ndash;100,000, sometimes higher with bonuses.
For non-PR internationals, salaries tend to be on the lower side at first, since many firms see work pass sponsorship as a cost.

What makes NUS interesting is the long-term potential. Singapore&rsquo;s finance sector has steady growth in fintech and private banking, so while the first salary may not feel huge, career progression is strong once you&rsquo;ve established yourself locally.

Salaries vary quite a bit by sector, but here&rsquo;s what recent outcomes usually look like.
&bull; Investment banking analysts at global banks in Singapore start around SGD 75k&ndash;90k including bonuses.&bull; Asset management and corporate banking roles average SGD 65k&ndash;75k.&bull; Risk, compliance, and fintech roles sit closer to SGD 55k&ndash;65k, though career progression can be quicker.&bull; Returning to India after the degree usually means ₹20&ndash;30 LPA packages, which is competitive but lower than staying in Singapore.
So while NUS MFin grads do well, the strongest ROI comes from landing front-office roles in Singapore rather than moving back immediately.
