Budgeting for Your MUIC Journey: A Practical Financial Guide

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.

Some programs—especially those in science and media—may cost more due to lab work, art studios, and specialized equipment. For example:

  • Science-based majors: Tuition is closer to the higher end of the range with laboratory fees billed separately.
  • 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.

Housing: Dorms, Condos, or Apartments?


If you plan to live near campus, monthly accommodation costs vary widely:

  • University dormitories to private condos: The range is approximately 7,000 to 30,000 Baht/month
    Factors like distance, amenities, and room type will influence pricing. For off-campus living, be sure to budget extra for utilities and Internet.

Daily Living: Food, Fun & Everything In-Between

Meals at MUIC’s two canteens are budget-friendly, but your lifestyle is a big factor:

  • 9,000 to 12,000 Baht/month for food if you dine out or visit cafés often
  • Add extra costs for transport, weekend trips, mobile phone bills, and shopping

A flexible monthly budget will give you breathing room.

 

Other Expenses to Consider

  • International students: Budget for flights, visa fees, and personal health insurance
  • Domestic students: Factor in inter-provincial transportation if you’re not living near campus

Scholarships & Financial Aid: Make It Affordable

MUIC offers several merit-based and need-based scholarships that can help reduce costs significantly. Some cover a portion of tuition; others offer full support.
