Fee Structure

An important policy of Aga Khan University (AKU) is that its admissions to various programmes are merit-based and means-blind. We believe that students should not be denied admission because they cannot afford the fees. The costs shown below will need to be considered while developing your financial plan. The normal mix of funding will include self contribution, scholarships, loans and other sources. For local students, possible sources of your sponsorship could be the Higher Education Commission as well. All selected candidates will have the opportunity to apply for these funds.

All programmes are subsidised by the University. The normal tuition fees charged are about 20 per cent of the actual cost. The table below gives details of the fees charged for the programme.
