Tuition and Payments

Tuition and Payments

Tuition fees vary across universities, depending on the course, the university and the language of study. The fees are usually updated yearly by the universities, prior to the admission season. During the 2011 / 2012 admission season, we will make available the current fees structure for the different universities we represent.

Depending on the mode of application, tuition payments could be made on arrival, or partly paid to the university for students applying directly to the university. Students processing their application via consulting companies, like our company, do not need to pay for the tuition until arrival, as the consulting companies are given this concession.

Pre-payments are only for the university admission / invitation letter, visa support letter from the ministry of external affairs, and payment for courier postage to the student’s location. The invitation letter could cost anywhere between $100 – $200 depending on the prevailing tariff, while courier postage cost will largely depend on the student’s location and the courier company utilized. Current fees for all of these will be made available during the 2011 / 2012 study in Ukraine admission period.

However, below are a general fee range based on earlier records for the most popular course categories:

General Tuition Fees Range

Course / Faculty	Tuition / Annum
Preparatory Faculty	$1500 – $2000
Medical courses in English language	$3000 – $4500
Medical courses in native Ukrainian or Russian language	$2500 – $3500

Please note that the above fee range information might not be precise for the 2011 / 2012 admission year, which is yet to be released, as at the time of this publication. You are requested to use the above figures as a planning guide.

Accommodation

Most universities have hostel accommodation for students, or have a provision for one. This varies from single room accommodation type to double or trio occupants for a room, depending on the size and type of the room. Prices for accommodation are also reflective of the accommodation type, and could vary between $350 – $700 per annum.

Students are also allowed to live in rented apartments, outside the hostel, but not without necessary procedures and permission from the university authority. However, it is highly advised that international students reside in university hostels, for better security.

Tuition Payments in Installments

Most universities do accept payment of tuition in installments. However, this concession is more applicable to students after their first year. New students are usually expected to make full payment, although in certain circumstances, could be granted this concession.

Living Expenditure

This varies with the students’ individual living standards and habits. On the average, students can live off a monthly budget of $150. While a conservative student might not even need that much, another student might need much more depending on the chosen lifestyle. However, depending on inflationary trends, the figures could reasonably change.
