Fees
The Shanghai Winter School is offered on a full-fee basis only. Commonwealth supported places (HECS-HELP) are not available. However, eligible students may apply to defer their tuition fee payment using FEE-HELP (please see below for further information).
Two fees are payable:
- The University of Sydney tuition fee (which varies depending on your enrolment)
- A fee covering in-Shanghai expenses (which varies depending on your choice of accommodation).
The tuition fee covers tuition costs (including reading materials) in Shanghai and Sydney. This fee is set by the University of Sydney and is based on the standard full-fee rate.
The fee for in-Shanghai expenses covers:
- accommodation, including linen, blankets, towels, heating, television and cleaning
- three meals per day (excluding drinks)
- airport transfers on arrival (for students arriving on 24 or 25 November only)
- a three-day trip to Hangzhou
- an administrative overhead.
Both fees are payable to Sydney Law School.

FEE-HELP assistance
Eligible students may apply to defer their tuition fee payment through the Australian Government’s FEE-HELP scheme. FEE-HELP enables eligible full-fee paying students to obtain a loan from the Government to cover the tuition fees incurred. Please refer to the current FEE-HELP information booklet (available from the information counter on Level 3 of the new Law School building) or visit www.goingtouni.gov.au for further details on the scheme.
FEE-HELP can be used to defer payment of tuition fees only. FEE-HELP does not cover accommodation and general living expenses so it cannot be used to defer payment of the fee for in-Shanghai expenses.
Important note for undergraduate students:
A loan fee of 25% applies to FEE-HELP loans for undergraduate units of study. The loan fee is charged for the amount of FEE-HELP assistance that you receive for the unit. For example, if you take out a FEE-HELP loan of $3870 for a unit of study, your loan fee will be $967.50 and your FEE-HELP debt reported to the Tax Office will be $4837.50. The amount of your loan fee will be shown on your Commonwealth Assistance Notice.
A loan fee does not apply to FEE-HELP loans for postgraduate courses of study.
