FEES

Study fees, costs and funding sources

Cost is an important factor for most people considering tertiary study. What you can expect to pay does vary depending on the specific course of study and qualification you are undertaking. As a distance student you might also need to consider travel and accommodation costs for on-campus courses.

Types of costs

Full range of fees you can expect to pay can be found within the Fees web pages. The following categories give a brief overview of the different types of costs that distance learners should consider:

Study related costs

Study related costs are costs directly associated with the programme you are taking. They often encompass more than just the fee that you pay to Massey University and it is important to consider these as part of your overall budget. The following are some examples of costs that you might incur:

· Tuition fees - fee associated with enrolling in the paper

· Text books - and books or other resources you may need to purchase

· Reading materials

· Photocopying

· Printing (ink, paper)

· Postage (if mailing assignments)

Non-tuition fees

Non-tuition fees are various administrative fees that are payable in addition to the tuition fees and sundry fees you pay for each paper. The full range of non-tuition fees can be found on the Fees web page.

Fees information

You are expected to contribute to the total cost of your study in the form of a ‘tuition fee’. The remainder of the cost of providing your education is funded by government subsidy, research grants, the commercialization of research and commercial activities.

You will also be expected to pay some administration costs which are called 'non-tuition fees'.

To get a true indication how much it will cost you to study at a tertiary institution, you need to consider the fees for your course, other study costs such as study materials, equipment or field trips where applicable, and factor in additional costs such as textbooks.

The information on these pages is for estimation purposes only. Actual fees payable will be finalized on confirmation of enrolment. Unless otherwise stated, all fees shown on this page are quoted in euro.

Fees calculator

Calculate your course fees using the fees calculator to select your papers. The amounts calculated are indicative only and do not include all costs associated with studying. Your final fees will be calculated and invoiced by Ptolemy University once your registration has been confirmed. Please check our non-tuition fees for other fees that may apply to you. Note: For part time students these may form a substantial part of your total fees.

Using the calculator does not register you in any of the selected papers. Our enrolment web site can guide you through the enrolment process.
