The main culprit for this is high tuition fees. When one adds to university fees the additional costs of studying, like accommodation away from home, transportation, purchase of books, other living expenses and even the cost of air travel the extend of the problem becomes even more obvious.
Even without taking into account tuition fees or the cost of books, the annual cost of living in London is around USD 23,000, in New York around USD 18,750 and in Johannesburg USD 18,300. This might be affordable, if you already live in the city and have a job that is flexible enough to enable you to pursue your university classes; however, for people having to relocate abroad for their studies, these expenses can be prohibitive.
More universities than ever have taken this fact into account and are now offering to teach their students online, while still maintaining the excellent quality of the programmes that are offered.
Studying online can save you money in:
- Travel & Commuting – whether you are commuting to a university or relocating to a different city or country.
- Payments for Visas – payments to get a visa to stay and study abroad vary greatly from country to country, but can represent a great initial expense.
- Housing & Utilities – Most university campuses are located in affluent neighbourhoods or towns which translate into high rental costs.
- Study Supplies – Most universities rely heavily on books that may be hard to find and can have a hefty price tag attached to them.
Additionally, many countries do not issue work permits to foreign students, or limit their employment to low-income sectors of the economy, which requires that students have a substantial amount of money saved before embarking on their studies.
Lastly, university campuses have limited spaces available each year. Even bright minds might have their application rejected because all available places have already been allocated.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”20″ height_on_tabs=”20″ height_on_tabs_portrait=”20″ height_on_mob_landscape=”20″ height_on_mob=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]UNICAF has developed a unique approach to quality higher education.
