Fees

Online study models & fees for your Bachelor degree in Computer Science

Depending on your personal or professional circumstances, you may wish to complete your studies as quickly as possible, or you may prefer a more flexible study programme that is less time-consuming. That’s why we offer part-time options for all our online degree programmes. This allows you to study alongside professional or personal commitments. We adjust your tuition fees based on your chosen time model. 

Are you unable to finish your degree within the given time? No problem! If you realise that you need more time, you can switch to another time model with one month’s notice before the end of the month. 

No registration or administration fees are charged when you apply for study – you’ll only be charged once your online studies have started. If you won’t be admitted to a programme because you do not meet the admission requirements, no fees will be charged.
