Once you are provisionally accepted, a breakdown of the University's Academic Fees will be stated on your letter of admission. The letter of admission is an official document from the PGIO to international students and is subject to alterations by the Finance Office. Please note the following:

• The fees for degree-seeking students are an estimate and will be determined by the academic programme, number of courses and the final prices in the University Calendar.
• International students are expected to pay their academic fees in full prior to registration. A delay in payment will cause a delay in registration. This is a requirement for all international students at first registration as well as all subsequent registrations.
• Interest at the prime bank rate will be charged on all outstanding amounts calculated from the date of registration.
• Sponsored students should request their sponsors to forward payment to the University prior to registration.

The amounts below are estimated, for budgetary purposes and vary according to specific programmes.
