Fees - MAS Programme

CHF 18,000 course fees for the MAS programme, including thesis supervision.

Student rooms and meals are to be taken care of and paid for by the student and are NOT included in the tuition fee.

A down-payment of CHF 6'000 is required before WPA sends out the letter of admission to an applicant. Two additional payments of CHF 6,000 each are due; one when the participant begins with the study programme and the other three months later.

It is also possible to pay the full amount at once.

WPA reserves the right to admit other applicants who pay earlier than those who may have registered but for any reason have not yet paid their fees. In other words, if you have been accepted by WPA, your enrollment is NOT guaranteed until you have paid the fees.

Fees - Advanced Certificate

The tuition costs for the Advanced Certificate are CHF 6,000.

Scholarships

For 2013 WPA offers a number of scholarships granting a 50% reduction in tuition. These scholarships are dedicated for students from developing countries and crisis areas. 

To be worthy of consideration for such a scholarship the applicant has to meet the academic requirements and be able to bear the costs of CHF 9,000 for the other 50% of the tuition fees as well as the costs of living and housing (approximately CHF 15,000) during the nine months in Basel.

Applicants who have been chosen to receive one of the WPA scholarships will have two weeks to activate this scholarship by paying the rest of the tuition fee of CHF 9,000. After the mentioned deadline the entitlement for the scholarship expires and may be passed to another applicant.

Since there are usually many more applications for these scholarships than we can accept, those who can pay the full amount have a considerably greater chance of being admitted.

There are no WPA scholarship available for the Certificate Programme.
