The bond period for the PSC scholarships (including the Mid-Term scholarships) is dependent on the country of undergraduate study (refer to table below). Undergraduate recipients may seek PSC's approval to pursue a Master's programme, but a Master's degree is not a requirement for work in the Public Service.

As for the PSC Master’s Scholarship, it has a bond period of 3 years and study duration of up to 2 years at local or overseas universities.
