It is not a mandatory requirement for you to attain a postgraduate degree to work in the Public Service. However, scholarship holders who are keen to add diversity and depth to their academic experience are able to seek the PSC's approval for sponsorship of a Master's programme.

Scholarship holders studying in English speaking countries (e.g. the UK or US) are sponsored for up to 4 years of studies (undergraduate and postgraduate). Such scholarship holders are encouraged to instead pursue a postgraduate degree in non-English speaking countries or Singapore to acquire a more diverse experience. They are allowed an additional one year to complete the postgraduate programme, subject to the PSC's approval.

Scholarship holders studying in non-English speaking countries would be given up to 6 years to complete their undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
