This financial guide will give you an idea on the budget you need to prepare if you get accepted in MUIC.
Tuition Fees: Good Value Education
Depending on your major, total tuition for a typical four-year undergraduate program starts at approximately 900,000 Baht for Thailand residents and 1,200,000 Baht for non-residents.

- Media & Communication and Communication Design programs: Rounded off, tuition may reach 1,000,000 Baht for Thailand residents and over 1,300,000 Baht for non-residents. Fees for studio use are separate.
