Looking at individual types of expenditure, staff expenditure is the largest category of expenditure at 52%, as in most educational institutions, followed by current material expenditure (44%) and capital expenditure (4%). The current expenditure per student in 2013 at privately owned universities amounted to 5 690 euros.
