Tuition

Regent College is a private college. This means that you pay fees to attend our classes.

But there’s something that we’d like to surprise you with this year.

Regent College’s Faculty Council has decided that, in academic year 2009/2010, fees for the entire first year will be reduced!

We know that you have lots of expenses - expenses connected with the vacation period and with your plans for the future.

Fees for the first year will be 3000 zł. – that’s 1500 zł. a semester.

And what’s more – you can pay this sum in 10 easy monthly payments of 300 zł.

That still adds up to 3000 zł., and only 3000 zl., for the whole of your first year.

And you won’t have to pay any recruitment costs!

In the academic year 2009/2010 candidates can apply with no recrutating fees!
