South African Theological Seminary Tuition
- Note that our tuition fees increase annually in January.
The amounts indicated above are only an estimate and are not formal quotes issued by the South African Theological Seminary.
The amounts shown may differ for Partnership Students.
How much does it cost?
Please consult the website for pricing applicable to your region of the world, but please bear the following in mind when assessing the financial implications:
- You pay at the beginning of each phase, so the tuition is spread over 3–5 years (the average time it takes to finish).
- The tuition fees are the total cost of the programme. There are no hidden costs, no travel costs, no accommodation costs, and no prescribed books to purchase. For many PhD programmes, these ‘hidden’ costs can easily double or triple the total cost.
Kindly note that all fees paid to SATS are non-refundable and that prices are increased annually.
