Cost of attendance is made up of three factors: tuition, accommodation and cost of living.
Your exact cost of attendance varies depending on your circumstances. Your course of study, decision to live on- or off-campus, food budget, travel expenses and family responsibilities all play a part.
Most students who are not living at home can expect a cost of attendance of R100 000 – R200 000 per year.
Cost of attendance may be higher if you are attending the Graduate School of Business.
