People who want to pursue Master of Business Administration (MBA) courses at Fudan University will have to pay more next year as the full-time tuition fees will increase to 110,000 yuan (US$13,800), up 22.2 percent from this year, Youth Post reported today.
Fudan University collects the highest fees in terms of its MBA courses nationwide. From next year, its full-time MBA tuition fees will increase from 90,000 to 110,000 yuan (including material fees), with part-time fees rising from 80,000 to 100,000 yuan. The price increase indicates that they will offer a higher quality of education, said Xie Hao, assistant director with the Fudan MBA project.
Fudan is increasing the tuition fees to guarantee top-trade teachers, educational conditions and offer more opportunities for students to make overseas exchanges, with the addition of extra scholarships, Xie pointed out.
Other universities also plan to increase the tuition fees next year, but not as much as those of Fudan. The East China University of Science and Technology will increase its fees by only 5,000 yuan next year.
However, students are calm towards the price increases. "Tuition fees are not my top consideration, the quality of the school is," said a prospective student, adding that students are focusing more on what they can earn after graduation rather than how much the courses costs.
