Ardhi University Tanzania (ARU) Masters Fee Structure

Bursaries and Fees for Postgraduate Programmes

At the beginning of the academic year, all students will be required to produce evidence of sponsorship by the Government or any other organizations, otherwise they will be expected to pay full tuition and University fees for the full first year, by the beginning of the term/semester before they can be permitted to use the University facilities.

All local payments for fees should be made through the Electronic Government Payment Gateway (eGPG) after acquiring a control number from the Office of the Bursar.
