Since the beginning of this year, colleges and universities have ushered in another wave of "price hikes", including Shanghai, Jilin, Sichuan and other provinces that have raised tuition fees for freshmen.

First, the region.

The charging standard of university tuition varies with regional economic development and per capita income level. Take Beijing as an example. In 2022, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in Beijing was 765,438+10,000 yuan.

According to the standards set by the local government, the tuition standard of undergraduate general education will be adjusted to 9800 yuan/year in 2023. However, in economically developed regions or special administrative regions such as Hong Kong, due to the high level of prices and per capita income in this region, tuition fees will rise accordingly.

Second, institutions.

Tuition fees vary greatly from university to university. Generally speaking, the tuition fees of famous universities such as 985, 21kloc-0/engineering universities and double-class universities are generally higher. For example, the tuition fees of top universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua will reach 9,860 yuan/year in 2023, while those of other ordinary universities will be 7,800 yuan/year. However, there are still some local universities with low tuition fees.

Third, major.

The tuition fees of different majors in universities vary greatly. Taking the medical major as an example, due to the support of all kinds of expensive and sophisticated equipment, the corresponding tuition standard will naturally increase. In addition, there are some majors or majors with strong practicality, and the tuition fees are also high.

Fourth, education.

Different academic qualifications have different tuition standards. Because the research of postgraduate subjects such as master's degree and doctor's degree needs higher level of experimental and research equipment, and the investment of teaching resources and teachers is also greater, the tuition standard will be much higher than that of undergraduate course. According to the document of the Ministry of Education, the tuition fees of graduate students have increased greatly, and colleges and universities will formulate relevant policies according to the actual situation of their own schools.

To sum up, there are some differences in tuition fees in different regions, different institutions, different majors and different academic qualifications. At the same time, influenced by many factors such as policy adjustment and economic environment, the tuition standard has an upward trend.

Therefore, when choosing colleges and majors, parents and students should not only consider the quality and reputation of teaching and the construction of teaching staff, but also consider their own economic ability and preparation for dealing with high tuition fees.
