Programme Investment
Investing in the Scholar Leader
The Gold Coast PhD develops the Scholar Leader by transforming professional experience into premium intellectual capital: the capacity to produce original knowledge, exercise evidence-based judgement and shape consequential decisions.
The programme investment therefore extends beyond earning a qualification. It supports a rigorous doctoral formation that unites professional credibility with scholarly authority.
Standard Annual Tuition
GHS 72,000
To make this investment manageable, the University offers four payment options, from the greatest flexibility to the greatest savings.
Four Ways to Invest
The payment route may differ, but the doctoral standard does not.
Choose the schedule that fits your cash flow. Every route carries the same curriculum, faculty expectations and doctoral standards.
Option 1
Monthly Payment Plan
This plan provides the greatest payment flexibility by spreading tuition across the academic year. It attracts a 5 per cent instalment premium.
Option 2
Quarterly Payment Plan
This plan combines structured instalments with moderate savings and is ideal for candidates who prefer periodic payments. On the quarterly payment plan, you receive a 2.5 per cent discount.
Option 3
Full Annual Payment
Candidates who pay the full annual tuition at the beginning of the academic year receive a 7.5 per cent discount.
Option 4
Full Three-Year Payment
This is the most cost-effective option and offers the highest savings for candidates ready to commit financially to the full doctoral journey.
The payment route may differ, but the intellectual value, academic expectations and doctoral standards remain the same.
