This planning tool uses the same tuition logic as the secure application. It helps you prepare; it does not create an application or proposal.
Published tuition route
Bachelor of Business Administration
Fixed tuition is charged per academic year. No tuition proposal is required.
Build a non-binding proposal
Set the monthly reference amount.
One framework, two routes
Published tuition for taught degrees. Individual review for doctorates.
01 · BBA & Executive MBA
Know the published route from the start.
The BBA follows fixed annual tuition. The Executive MBA offers €7,500 tuition or a flexible payment route of €450 per month during enrollment. Eligible Executive MBA students may add the Applied AI specialization at no additional tuition cost.
02 · DBA & Doctor of Philosophy
Propose a plan you can sustain.
Doctoral study extends over several years, while candidates’ funding and professional circumstances differ. Qualified applicants may therefore propose an amount and schedule for SMC’s individual review without changing the academic standards or degree requirements.
Clear boundaries
A proposal is a starting point—not an entitlement.
SMC assesses academic admission and tuition separately. It may approve a proposal, revise its amount or schedule, request information, offer an alternative, or decline it. A higher proposal never improves the chance of admission.
Only the tuition and schedule stated in the formal written offer and Student Agreement become binding.
Same academic regulations and degree requirements for every admitted student
No purchase of credit, favorable assessment, or accelerated progression
Review considers sustainability, study duration, funding context, and required institutional resources
Approved terms apply only to the named applicant and admission cycle

Direct answers
Frequently asked questions.
Why does SMC allow doctoral applicants to propose tuition?+
Doctoral candidates differ in professional circumstances, funding arrangements, preferred payment schedules, and expected study duration. The proposal process lets each applicant present a credible long-term plan for institutional review.
Is this a “pay what you want” model?+
No. Applicants submit a proposal for institutional review. SMC decides whether the proposed tuition and payment structure are academically and financially sustainable.
Does proposing a higher amount improve my chance of admission?+
No. Academic admission is based on the applicable admission requirements and the quality, relevance, and feasibility of the applicant’s doctoral profile and research direction. The tuition proposal is assessed separately.
Can SMC change my proposal?+
Yes. SMC may approve the proposal, revise the amount or payment schedule, request further information, present an alternative structure, or decline it.
When do the tuition terms become binding?+
The terms become binding when they are stated in SMC’s official documentation and accepted through the applicable admission and enrollment process.
Does this explorer submit a proposal?+
No. It collects, stores, and submits nothing. A doctoral proposal is submitted only inside the secure SMC application.
Ready when you are
Go into the application with a route already in mind.
The public explorer remains private and non-binding. The secure application is where SMC receives your information and, for doctoral applicants, the tuition proposal selected for institutional review.
