COSTS

What are the costs studying architecture at Tshwane University of Pretoria, Main Campus?

Apart from fees and general living expenses, students will need to budget for other costs which include essential equipment, modelmaking materials and other consumables such as stationery, films and computer disks. In courses involving modelmaking, students' choice of materials, such as recycled cardboard, wood, steel and plastics, may help to save costs. 

Students may wish to have their own computer and drawing board at home, although these facilities are available in the Department.

Students will find there is a wide range of quality and cost for most items and students should not purchase equipment before being advised by staff at the Department.
