  • The above full amounts are based on current regulations and are subject to change.
  • Prices are adjusted based on a cost-of-living index, and can change from year to year.
  • In addition to tuition fees, textbooks must be purchased, and practicum fees (actual amounts) must be paid.
  • If a payment due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or national holiday, the payment due date shall become the next financial institution business day.

Payment Methods

Every year, payments will be direct-debited from the designated bank account, on the payment due dates.
Take care to avoid late payments in both semesters. Students who fail to make tuition fee payments even with reminder notices may be removed from the student register.
