2025/2026 is still in session. So there is no date yet as regards when 2025/2026 NOUN PG form will be out
Apart from this fees, no other fee required? I read somewhere about exam fees per course, course registration by number of unit…
Well it is possible but this is the fee we are aware of. Never heard about examination fee per course. We shall confirm and get back to you
The above fee is for registration, you must register each 3 unit courses 2500, 2 unit courses 2000. if the courses are 9 you must register each. You need to register the courses for exam each 1000. Averagely it requires 65, 000 or above to complete your 1st semester 100level. subsequent fees may be less.
