Why does mdh charge tuition?

mdh is a private university, meaning it is not subsidized by the government. Tuition is therefore the main source of funding and finances research, instruction, administration and organization.

Our career services with a quota of graduates finding jobs upon graduation ensures a smooth transition into your working life.

Which payment options are available?

You can choose payment in equal monthly instalments. The amount of every instalment depends on the overall cost of your study program. If tuition is not paid monthly but rather in higher amounts or in full before beginning the program, you can save money choosing from one of the following options:  

• 5% discount if payment is made in full at the beginning of your program (3% for master programs)
• 3% discount for payment in yearly instalments before the beginning of the 1st, the 3rd or the 5th semester respectively and one semester fee before the beginning of the 7th semester. 
• 1% discount for payment in full per semester before the semester begins
• The discounts only refer to tuition fees
