The annual tuition figure is only the starting point. A useful budget separates university charges, living costs and post-graduation expenses.
University charges
Record tuition, hostel, insurance, application, registration, residence permit, medical examination, books and deposits. Ask which charges repeat every year.
Living costs
Food, local transport, telephone service, winter clothing, flights and emergencies depend heavily on the city and the student's habits.
Five-year planning
Use a year-by-year table rather than multiplying one headline fee. First-year costs are often higher because of application, registration and setup charges. Internship fees may follow a separate policy.
Source quality
Prefer the current official university guide. Secondary fee websites are useful for comparison, but conflicting figures should remain labelled and linked to their source.
