Helloo please i need the total cost
The training fee for M.Eng is too expensive considering that we don't have robust machines in UBa and again this will only reduce number of students who can afford for this training. Cameroon needs enough people trained in this fields. I suggest the training fee be reduced to 300,000fCFA. thanks
