Select your country of residence to find your tuition rate in USD. Please note that tuition is based on full time or part time enrollment which varies based on program and is listed by term. SUM is on a trimester system, meaning most students will take three terms of classes per year. Annual tuition can be calculated by multiplying the term tuition by three. Full tuition for the term is due at the beginning of the term, prior to the start of classes. Students withdrawing from class after the first week of the term are responsible for the full term tuition. While some students secure private sponsors for their tuition, no additional scholarships are provided by SUM.
