Quiz preview

Calculating the full study cost means:

Adding tuition, accommodation, transport, food, and materials together
Only accounting for tuition fees since other costs are always subsidised
Estimating costs loosely since exact figures change throughout the year
Calculating only the first year since subsequent years are usually cheaper

Annual study costs: tuition 800000 in local currency, accommodation 400000 in local currency, food 180000 in local currency, transport 60000 in local currency. Total:

1000000 in local currency — accommodation and tuition are the only real costs
580000 in local currency — only non-tuition costs need personal funding
800000 in local currency — only tuition represents a true study cost
1440000 in local currency — every cost must be funded during the year
