Notes about fees for this course

Full-time Bachelor Tuition Fees

Tuition rates for the 2024-2025 Academic Year are as follows:

CHF 17,500 flat rate, per 16-week semester

What is included in full-time tuition?

All required textbooks are included in the tuition fees, as well as online access to the student portal, electronic library, personal Webster email accounts, etc.
Academic Resources support, including Academic Advising, the Writing Center, peer tutoring programs, etc.
Student Affairs activities, including most University-sponsored and Student Government Association-sponsored events (on-campus and/or online).
Career Services support, including individual coaching for CV writing, internship and job search support, interview preparation and careers events on campus.
Student Counseling Services, upon request, for individual support if/when needed.
Campus facilities, including access to the computer labs, library, fitness center and media lab.

Excluded from tuition: Accommodations, meal plans, travel or personal expenses. Also, campus parking and optional fees for course electives that require additional media equipment or travel are excluded.

This flat-fee semester tuition rate permits students to register for 12 to 18 U.S. credit hours per semester (the equivalent of about four to six courses; most courses carry 3 credits). A typical bachelor's student takes 15 credit hours (five courses) per semester: this is the rate of progress necessary for students to graduate on time. The flat-fee rate allows for up to six courses per semester if students wish to advance more quickly toward graduation and have the academic potential to do so.

* This rate applies to the full 16-week semesters in Fall and Spring. Students who enroll for eight-week half-semester courses (first-time students joining in October or March, for example) are invoiced at the part-time rate of tuition for that specific eight-week term. Subsequent semesters of 16 weeks are then invoiced as per above.

Part-time Bachelor Tuition Rate

Tuition for those taking less than 12 credits in a given semester is billed at the per-credit-hour rate. The tuition rate for part-time students in 2024-2025 is CHF 1,100 per credit hour, equivalent to CHF 3,300 per 3-credit course. Those who enroll in multiple part-time courses in a given eight-week term are still eligible for the services listed above.

One Out of Every Three Undergraduate Students Receive Aid and/or Scholarship:

Approximately 33% of the undergraduate student body benefits from one or more forms of financial aid or scholarship assistance to help fund their studies at Webster’s Geneva Campus.

There are various financial assistance programs for which eligible students may be considered. Depending on your demonstrated need and your academic ability, it may be possible to combine these different sources to help meet your financial needs gap (note: work-study positions may depend on your residency status in Switzerland and the EU).

For those applicants from beyond the U.S., Switzerland or EU system: a secondary diploma that is recognized for university-level admission from an institution that is approved by the national/state Ministry of Higher Education.
