 Maybe i did a mistake, i don't know but in this conditions South Africa University doesn't seem logical to me.I wanted to know are there any universities which costs annual 4.000-5.000 USD.I found your web site new and i don't know much more about distance education yet.I can't apply this term i guess.Can i apply for spring term?
 

Hi Newbie.  At today's exchange rate, £3,566 is actually US$7,318.50.  Still, in my opinion that's a great deal for it being all tuition fees for a University of London first degree. I can understand why one would prefer it to one from Unisa, even when Unisa is a bit cheaper.

Wait, are you looking for a program that is $5,000 per year or less, or are you looking for a program the total cost of which is $5,000 or less?

I'm looking for a program which costs 5.000 USD per year.Is there any programme which costs total 5.000 USD?Is University of South Africa one of them?

Yes, probably.  However, since the University of London program is just US$7,318.50 total, which spread over three years is less than half your annual budget, wouldn't you want to take a close look at that one first?

Unisa has just about everything, including software engineering.  As for other schools that are $5000/year or less, I'm not sure.  That's pretty low for a Bachelor's degree.  There's an American school called Troy University that's $5,550/year and has a Bachelor's program in Applied Computer Science, but that's about the least expensive I can think of that's in your chosen field.

Hello Steve

 Do we have lot of distant learning universities in africa like back in the western countries.

I have been looking for an online distant learning university in Africa for quite sometime now but i seem not to have any luck.

And if there is are they cheaper than most western countries.

The idea of paying $5000 or less for a whole program would be great.

 For a computer science programme

Can you help with any distant learning institution across the globe that would cost $5000 or little more if not less for a whole programme, let say computer science.

Thank you.

Yes, there are a lot of them!  There are open universities in Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, and many other countries.  Where are you?

The University of South Africa would certainly qualify.
