UPM bills international tuition per year rather than as one whole-programme total, and the figure depends heavily on faculty. Most standard bachelor's programmes in the natural sciences, agriculture, forestry and computer science run close to RM 20,000 a year, with a published range of roughly RM 10,000 to RM 40,000 a year across all programmes; the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine programme sits at the top of that range at RM 40,000 a year (RM 20,000 a semester). The application fee is a flat USD 100 for both undergraduate and postgraduate international applicants. Fees are subject to change without notice, per UPM's own fee documents.
