What is the fee payment schedule?

If you are offered a place on the MBA programme, you will be notified of a specific date by which you must confirm acceptance and pay a non-refundable deposit of 10% of the total academic fees. Approximately one month before you begin your programme you will also need to pay a non-refundable tuition installment equivalent to 60% of
total tuition (90% for company sponsored participants). The final tuition payment (remaining 30% of total academic fees) is due approximately four
months into the programme.
