BSc Economics & Finance
Every ISBF student is a de facto full-fledged student of University of London (UOL), and must therefore pay a fee to both ISBF and UOL every year for the duration of the programme. The fees are typically paid across several instalments. Funding is available for all students in the form of scholarships, bursaries and academic prizes, as well as through education loans.
The total fee for all undergraduate degree programmes at ISBF is approx. INR 21.35 Lakh, across 3 years. This covers the University of London’s registration and examination fees, and ISBF’s admission and tuition fees, as well as applicable taxes.
