FEES
All fees are charged on a per credit basis, and the cost per credit
differs in each School/Department. Tuition fee is estimated based
on the modules selected and the cost per credit of the
School/Department where the module is delivered. The final cost
may vary based on a student’s selection.
Prospective students should therefore clarify the fees before making

any final financial arrangement.
Tuition Fees for the Academic year 2016/2017 will not be available
until May 2016. In the interim, the existing cost per credit quoted in
booklet can form the basis for projecting the upcoming fees by
adding an additional 10% increase on the existing per credit rates.
Kindly note however, that the University reserves the right to change
fees and credits at any given time and quotes given in the brochures
are not final fees.
