HOW TO REGISTER
TPU courses are mainly designed for participants of graduate or post-graduate level,
or people with equivalent experience. No formal degree is required.
|

Participation requires the commitment to read and analyze
the materials posted by the course directors, to participate actively in group discussions and assignments and
to respect the reading and responding time frames.
According to general estimations, in order to benefit satisfactorily from the course,
participants will need to devote not less than 8 hours a week.
|
Enrollments are completed upon the payment of the course fee. The course fees are as follows:
200 Euro/per course - for residents of non-OECD countries;
400 Euro/per course - for residents of
OECD countries.
For more information please click on the name of the course you are interested in.
|
IMPORTANT - The division of fees as for OECD and non-OECD
residents is made in order to create more equal opportunities for participants around the globe.
TPU will appreciate if residents of non-OECD countries can pay the full fee.
This will contribute to a scholarships fund. If residents of OECD countries find it difficult
to pay the full fee, they can apply for a reduction. TPU also accepts payment in installments when
it is absolutely needed by the participant.
|
If two or more participants enroll at the same time they all receive a 10% reduction in the course fee.
The same 10% reduction applies if someone enrolls in more than one course at the same time.
Please write to  for more information.
All TPU participants and alumni are offered a 50% discount for the first copy they purchase of any book published by
TRANSCEND University Press.
