UNISA Student Fees and Funding 2025

UNISA Student Fees and Funding 2025: Unisa fees brochure

The Unisa student fees include various charges for attending the institution, such as tuition, registration, and lab fees. To help cover these costs, the University of South Africa offers financial resources, including scholarships based on merit or need and grants that do not require repayment. Unisa fees differ depending on the qualification, the number of modules, and so on, but they include prescribed student fees (including registration fees), miscellaneous fees and fees for additional study material.

Unisa’s study fees are generally lower than other higher education institutions, but studying is still a significant investment either way. The cost depends on the qualification, obviously, as well as the number of modules you choose.

The average student registers for between 4 and 6 modules per year at a cost of between R1 665,00 and R4 835,00 per module these amounts are subject to change. The module costs do not include your prescribed books. Books are an additional cost that you must factor into your calculations for your full costs of study.
