Fees and Funding
Fees
The fees structure for Masters and PhD degree programs depend on the mode of study (Course Work and Dissertations, Course Work and Project and Research and Thesis). The fees structure is arranged in three categories:
All Direct University Costs are paid once during reporting at the start of the year of study, except for Tuition Fee which is paid either in full amount during reporting for a degree programme or it is paid per year at the start of the academic year of study. For private candidates, tuition fees may be paid by instalments (at least 40% on reporting and 10% before the end of the first semester, and at least 40% at the start of the second semester and 10% before the end of the second semester) within a particular year of study.
