Hey, future UNNES students! One of the most important things to consider when picking a university is, of course, the cost. Many applicants ask, “How much UNNES tuition fees?”
As a state university (PTN), Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) uses the UKT (Uang Kuliah Tunggal) system. This means you pay a single flat fee at the start of each semester. There are no extra charges for building fees, lab fees, or enrollment fees (specifically for students entering through the regular SNBP and SNBT tracks).
The tuition at UNNES is divided into 7 Tiers (Golongan) based on your family’s financial situation. Tier 1 (the lowest) is a flat rate of Rp 500,000 per semester for all majors. Meanwhile, the highest tier (Tier VII) varies depending on the faculty and study program.
