Officially published 2025/26 international tuition: UGX 3,406,760/semester (UGX 6,813,520/year), roughly double the Ugandan/East African rate of UGX 2,044,056/semester, confirmed identically across two consecutive official Academic Registrar fee announcements (2024/25 and 2025/26). No 2026/27 fee-structure document had been published on Makerere's site as of this record's research date -- reconfirm for the current cycle. Additional mandatory functional fees apply (roughly UGX 1,495,253 for international students in Semester One, UGX 132,250 in Semester Two), plus a UGX 20,000/year NCHE fee and a UGX 100,000 Year-1-only internship/field-attachment fee -- all separate from tuition. Total is calculated as the annual tuition figure times 5 years and does not include functional or other fees.
