Fees and Financial Planning
Studying at a university can be quite expensive, particularly for international students in Thailand, who are not permitted to do part-time work. Fortunately, the cost of living and fees at MFU compare very favourably to other institutions that teach in English, both in Thailand and around the world. The university is its own self-sufficient campus and provides everything that students need, including free across-campus wifi, inexpensive food (breakfast to dinner, 365 days per year), free transport, convenient accommodation, world class sports centres and great entertainment facilities. Everything on campus is guaranteed to be affordable, and students rarely ever need to leave MFU - except for when leaving on trips!
Working out the amount of money required for your studies can cause a lot of confusion - so we have provided a helpful estimate personal expenses below to let you work out the approximate amount of money you will need while studying at MFU. The amounts provided are average minimum amounts and should not be considered as the exact or final figure. This data is only meant to be a used as guide in helping you make a decision and work out your financial planning.
Estimate Personal Expenses Items 1. Food and Drinks (50 THB/meal) 2. Study Materials 3. Shopping / Entertainment 4. Mobile Phone / Utility Bills 5. Laundry 6. Travel 7. WIFI Internet 8. Other Expenses Personal Subtotal 9. Additional Personal Allowance Personal Total
