MAKING YOUR STUDY AFFORDABLE

TUITION FEES GREATLY REDUCED!  Click here for tuition fee page

Scholarships and bursaries

  • Calamus Extension College Ltd and Calamus International University are private institutions that do not benefit from any government funding or grants. At the present time, no full scholarships are available and all students must possess the required funds for tuition, purchase of textbooks and any other necessary expenses, e.g. for conducting research. We are unable to reply to requests for free tuition or free awards.

    However, concessionary rates of fee are offered from time to time at the discretion of the College.

    Please see tuition for applicable fees.

    Since the degrees awarded by CIU are not UK university degrees,  courses do not qualify for UK student loan or career development loan schemes.

    Similarly, as CIU is not in the USA, courses do not qualify for GI Bill funding or federal student loan schemes.

Payment Plans and Discount for Full Payment in Advance

  • If the student paying full fees pays the total amount (full fee) on enrolment, he or she will normally be entitled to a tuition fee discount as per our current offers and/or fee schedules.

  • Modular payment is normally possible but is not available for all countries or courses.

Credit cards

  • We can accept payments by credit card on-line via PayPal or Google Checkout - now you do not need to have a PayPal account to pay by this method (subject to PayPal transaction limits and security procedures).  Modular payments can also be set up via PayPal.  This payment method may not be available for certain countries, and we reserve the right not to accept PayPal/Google Checkout payments. Please do not send any money until you are accepted and until you receive a payment request from us.

Lower fees for honorary degrees

  • We have lowered our fees for honorary degrees. Since these awards are made on the basis of previous accomplishments, no payment plans are available. Honorary degrees are often sought by people who are devoted to voluntary, religious or charitable activities or who have retired from their careers. Our lower fees will make it easier for such persons to receive an honorary award.

Group study

  • If you are a group of friends or colleagues and you all want to study the same programme with us, we can arrange for a substantial group discount.

Educational tax deductions

  • The UK, USA and many other countries will normally permit setting aside the cost of educational expenses against income tax for self-employed professionals or those using their degree for career development. This can significantly reduce the cost of your degree. For further guidance consult your accountant or local income tax office. Employers or company directors: your company can pay for staff training and development as a legitimate business expense. We cannot give financial or taxation advice and you should check with your tax advisor or accountant for the correct position regarding your circumstances.
