Registration Confirmation and Tuition Fees

Upon completing your registration, you will receive a confirmation email within 1-3 working days. Please sign and return the registration confirmation using our digital signature system.

Once we receive the signed registration confirmation, you will receive a checklist for planning your semester and a list of enrollment documents required for the university.

If we have reached the minimum requirement of 10 participants, you will also receive a payment request for the course fees. The course fee consists of an Enrollment Fee and a Tuition Fee. The Enrollment Fee, a one-time charge confirming your enrollment, is due within 30 days of receiving the invoice. The Tuition Fee must be paid at least 8 weeks before the program start date.

If the minimum participant requirement has not been met, we will collect all registrations and send payment requests once the minimum number is reached.

Enrollment, Visa Documents, and Semester Start

Upon receipt of your full tuition fee and enrollment documents, we will apply for the Letter of Acceptance (LoA) and the Sponsor Letter/Invitation Letter (LoI) at Universitas Udayana. These documents are essential for your visa application.

Approximately 4 weeks before the semester begins, you will receive an email containing details about the Welcome Event & Orientation Day, the Time Table, Academic Calendar, Study Guide, and more.

The 15-week programs at Universitas Udayana are designed exclusively as semesters abroad for international students. All courses are held in English. As this is an international program, the curriculum and academic calendar are independent of the local Bachelor‘s and Master‘s programs.

The course duration is 15 weeks, divided into 11 weeks of effective course, 2 weeks semester break, 1 week final exam, and 1 week revision.

All programs are designed to comply with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). This system is based on workload, measured in hours and includes lectures, exams, self-study, research, subject-related excursions, etc. One semester corresponds to 30 ECTS credits. ECTS enables the measurement, comparison, and transfer of academic achievements between universities. If the semester is completed successfully, the credits achieved can be credited with the help of ECTS. So you can return to your home university without any loss of time or credit points. The ECTS system is transferable to other credit systems such as the US credit system and similar systems.

If you want to have the subjects credited at your home university, we suggest having the course pre-approved by the home institution’s exchange coordinator, academic advisor, or a professor; whoever is in charge of credit transfer and sign a “Learning Agreement”, in order to provide a transparent and efficient preparation of the study period abroad and to ensure that you will receive recognition for the educational components successfully completed abroad.

All modules listed in the program description are offered every semester. It is not necessary to register for certain modules before the start of the course. It is up to you to decide which of the offered modules you want to take.

Can I combine modules of different programs?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to combine modules of different programs, because the lectures of all programs run parallel. In particular, there would be overlaps in the timetable of excursions and workshops which are adapted to the modules.

What happens if I don‘t pass a course?

If you do not pass a course, you will not get a grade or credit points for the module.

The traffic on Bali’s roads is impressive and very different to that found in Western countries. It can seem pretty chaotic in the beginning. Traffic jams are a part of everyday life. The traffic flows according to its own rules. Time, patience, and serenity are important at peak times in this respect. Many students choose to ride a scooter. It´s the fastest and easiest way to get around. They drive on the left side of the road, but one gets used to that relatively quickly.

An international driver’s license is mandatory. You can apply for one in your home country.

The tuition fee for the 15-weeks program includes:

» Registration and enrollment
» Lectures at the Udayana University
» Workshops and Excursions

not included in the tuition fee:

» Flight and accommodation
» Visa Fees & Extension Fees
» Travel Health Insurance
» Transport
» Living costs

The cost of living is relatively low in Bali. However, it is difficult to say how much money you will need for the 15 weeks, as it strongly depends on the individual lifestyle.

Here you can find a list of general living costs.
