The tuition fee for the UX/UI and Graphic Design program for one academic year is €3350.

This is the tuition fee for studying at the college, and it includes all study-related costs—meaning there are no additional or hidden fees (for literature, exam registration, etc.).

There are several payment options for the tuition fee, which are explained here.

We also offer the financial model Study Now, Pay After Employment. – which is primarily aimed at making quality higher education accessible to all, removing the financial burden from students and, of course, their parents.

At our faculty, it's not the most privileged who study, but the best.

Brainster Next is the first practical IT college accredited by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of North Macedonia. Accordingly, the diploma awarded to students upon graduation is equivalent to any other diploma obtained from public or private universities in the country.

In line with the Bologna Declaration and the national framework for educational equivalency and qualifications, the diploma is recognized in all countries that are part of this declaration and acknowledge the accreditation granted by the Ministry of Education and Science. Accreditation documents are available HERE

Yes, after completing their undergraduate studies, students have the opportunity to continue with master's studies. Our programs are designed to provide a solid academic foundation and practical skills that prepare students for further studies at a higher academic level. Students are required to choose a master's program with a duration of two years.

Classes will be conducted in person, while learning materials and everything related to the studies will be available on a dedicated platform (learning management system), where each student will have their own profile. Attendance, grades, projects, and other relevant information will be tracked and accessible.

Only a small part of the classes, in exceptional cases, will be held via video conference, such as guest lectures from experts abroad, in case they are unable to attend in person, ensuring that the course schedule is not disrupted.

The lecture schedule will differ from that of traditional faculties – courses will be organized in blocks, rather than parallel multiple subjects at the same time, in order to ensure that the student's focus is more directed towards a specific subject.
