Tuition for Undergraduate and Graduate Programs

As an international student, you will pay the full cost or 'unsubsidised cost' of your tuition fees. As Australian tax payers, Australian students pay a subsidised tuition fee. International tuition fees are comparable to fees you would pay in Canada or the US.

You will also need to budget for student organisation membership, library and laboratory costs, sports facility costs, excursions, books, and other essential material for courses.  This will vary depending on the course or institution, and therefore average costs provided below should be used only as a guide. All school tuition fees are exempt from Australia’s Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Your Australian institution will advise you about when to pay your tuition fees.
