Tuition fees in Canadian universities and study costs

According to the Times Higher Education, Canada has several universities that rank among the best academic institutions in the world. If you are one of the hopefuls who want to study in Canada, this guide can help you determine how much tuition you need to pay to get a degree from one of the prestigious universities.

How much does it cost to study in Canada?

The good thing about Canada is that the rates are relatively lower than its counterparts in the US, UK and Australia. Students in Canada are likely to need between CAD 20,000 and CAD 30,000 annually to cover tuition. However, this range is only an average and varies depending on the institution and program you are enrolled in.

Each university sets its own rates based on merit, which program you study in, and whether you are a local or international student. According to Statistics Canada, the average fee for international students is CAD 29,714 for undergraduate studies and CAD 17,744 for graduate studies.

Tuition fees by geography

Tuition also fluctuates radically depending on which Canadian state you study in. For example, Newfoundland and Labrador have the lowest costs for undergraduate and graduate students, CAD 12,042 and CAD 4,081 respectively.

Meanwhile, Ontario has the highest median compensation with average fees of CAD 38,276 and CAD 23,770 respectively.

Tuition fees per field of study for international students

Moreover, the tuition also changes depending on the discipline the student is rolled into. Here is a short list of the cost of tuition fees for different disciplines if you are an international student:
