Semester Contribution

What do studies at HSBI cost?

It depends on the study programme you choose.

For most study programmes, including all full-time programmes, the general semester contribution applies.
It is payable each semester. The recipients are responsible for the individual amounts. HSBI only collects the payments and then forwards them.
