All other costs such as travel, accommodation, living expenses, health insurance, etc. must be met by students. Estimated costs based on information provided by host institutions on their website.

All credits students earned from the host university can be transfered to CMMU.

Students should visit the online course catalogue of partner universities to ensure that suitable courses of study are available.

What our students say

University of Otago, New Zealand
What I enjoy most is the very comprehensive 3-day classes which were customized up to students’ background. Each class has only 5-7 students from the U.S, Singapore, New Zealand and Thailand so it’s a must for you to speak up and share your ideas. 60% of the time is class discussion about case studies to exchange knowledge from each culture and environment and this is where I gained new and interesting perspectives from this international context.
