Tuition fees vary according to whether the university is private or publicly funded, its location and the course chosen. At state universities, semester fees may be as little as around 300 USD, while at private universities tuition fees can reach thousands. Information about tuition fees is best sought directly from the institution to which you wish to apply. Private universities’ fees are more expensive than state institutions’ and postgraduate study is more expensive than undergraduate study.
