How much will I pay?
Tuition at Dalhousie includes the cost of your academic program, mandatory student fees, and any program-specific charges. What you pay depends on your program, level of study, and whether you are a Canadian or international student.
Each year, Dalhousie’s Board of Governors approves tuition and fees for the upcoming academic year. New rates take effect on April 1 and may change annually, which means tuition and fee changes can start as soon as the upcoming summer term.
