The University of Malawi (Unima) is seeking government’s approval for the upward adjustment of tuition fees for normal entry students.
In a meeting the Unima council held some few days ago, it was unanimously agreed that the fees should be hiked.
According to information at hand, the management wants the fees should be hiked from current MK55, 000 per semester to closer to MK350, 000 per semester.
The development comes barely a month after hiking tuition fees for mature students from 2016/17 academic calendar.
Mature entry admitted to Chancellor College in Zomba will now be paying K900,000 tuition fees, according to the memo.
College of Medicine will charge K1.4 million; Kamuzu College of Nursing K1 million and Polytechnic fees is now pegged at K950,000.
Fees were at K275,000 before the increase.
