In today’s modern era, parents of prospective students demand concrete financial details before selecting an educational institution. Calculating the risk ratio and Return on Investment (ROI) is crucial to ensure that the expenses incurred are proportional to the child’s post-graduation career certainty. Therefore, it is important for families to perform a Break-Even Point (BEP) calculation regarding the cost of international education.
To calculate the BEP or break-even point, we first need to understand the initial investment cost structure. Compared to full self-funded study abroad schemes, the Double Degree program at BINUS International offers a highly logical financial advantage. Estimated annual tuition fees (SPP) at BINUS range from IDR 80,000,000 to IDR 110,000,000 per year. This figure is extremely cost-efficient when compared to estimated costs at partner institutions abroad, which range from AUD 20,000 to AUD 45,000 for universities in Australia, or GBP 12,000 to GBP 26,000 for universities in the UK.
Below is a financial comparison table that makes it easy for parents and students to visualize the extent of savings offered:
| Financial Component | Full 4-Year Overseas Study | BINUS International Double Degree Scheme |
| Estimated Annual Tuition Fee | AUD 20,000 – 45,000 (Australia) or GBP 12,000 – 26,000 (UK) | IDR 80,000,000 – IDR 110,000,000 (during initial study period in Indonesia) |
| Cost Savings Value | Full payment in foreign currency starting from the first year | Provides study cost savings of up to 50% |
With a significantly lower initial capital requirement thanks to study cost savings of up to 50%, how long does it take to reach the Break-Even Point (BEP) for these Double Degree fees? Let us assume a graduate secures a position as a junior analyst in technology or finance at a multinational corporation. Because educational expenses are cut in half, fresh graduates can reach the capital return break-even point in a much shorter timeframe compared to those who incur full expenses for four years abroad.
This speed in reaching BEP is strongly backed by the widely recognized employment track record of BINUS students. BINUS University successfully entered the elite Top 200 in Southeast Asia (ranked 165th in Asia) and achieved a global ranking of 851–900 in the QS World University Rankings 2026. This directly impacts alumni careers; internal tracking data indicates a phenomenal graduate employment rate of 79.05%. Even more impressively, 33.66% of that employed workforce was directly hired by global and multinational companies. The combination of affordable tuition fees and high prospects of employment at multinational corporations makes the BINUS Double Degree program a highly profitable financial decision for a child’s future.
