Types of Professional Qualifications

For each acquirable professional qualification, the eligibility requirements such as prescribed curriculum or requirement for practical experience and the nationality requirement may differ.

Total estimated costs

"Total estimated costs" is the total of tuition (maximum possible for first-year students × length of the course of study), entrance fees, other costs (lab fees, facility and equipment fees, student accident insurance for first-year students × length of the course of study), and main living expenses × 12 months × length of the course of study. Living expenses include housing expenses. NIAD-QE calculates a reference value of housing expenses based on the Campus Life Data Survey by University Co-op, which each university may change to reflect the actual conditions.
