International student tuition fees

This page shows the tuition fees you’re likely to pay as an international student for your first year of study.

Important – read this information first:

• The tuition fees on this page are based on a full-time enrolment of 48 credit points per year. (This is known as 1 EFTSL, or equivalent full-time student load.)
• Full-time courses with fewer than 48 credit points have lower tuition fees. That’s because the fees are based on total credit points for a course. For example, a graduate certificate has 24 credit points and therefore has lower tuition fees than a master’s degree, which has 48.
• The fees are only for the year shown. They change each year as a result of annual reviews and other factors.
  
• In some cases we display the fees as a range, because they’re different for each course.

Your first payment

You’ll need to make your first payment when you accept an offer to study with us. 

This payment:

• acts as a deposit to secure your place at the University
• covers your first semester’s tuition fees
• includes a payment for your Overseas Student Health Cover (if you choose our preferred provider – see 'Paying for health cover')
• allows you to apply for a student visa (after we’ve issued your electronic Confirmation of Enrolment).

We’ll confirm the exact amount in your letter of offer.

You'll be able to access a financial statement showing your payments after you’ve enrolled.

Payments for other semesters

For each following semester, you’ll need to pay the tuition fees by the payment due date. If you don’t, you may face a penalty or sanction.

To find out when you need to pay, go to study dates and filter by ‘Payment date (international)’.

Paying for health cover

When you accept your offer, you'll have the option to pay for Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) through the University's approved provider.

If you prefer, you can arrange your own OSHC through another approved provider.

Note: You must arrange your OSHC before you apply for a student visa.

Payment methods

We accept a number of payment methods, including credit card, PayPal and international bank transfers.

Note that surcharges (pdf, 97KB) apply to credit card and PayPal payments.

Making extra payments

When you make your first payment, you can choose to pay more than the amount shown in your offer letter.

The extra payment will then be used for future semester tuition fees.

What you need to do:

• Make a payment into your student fee account by international bank transfer, such as Western Union or HSBC.
• You can also make a payment from an Australian bank account, using BPAY.
• Make sure the extra payment remains in your student fee account. We’ll apply it automatically towards future tuition fees.

Annual review and fee increases 

All fees are subject to annual reviews and indexation. This means they may increase each year during your studies. The increase will take place at the start of each calendar year.

We publish the updated fees every year.

Other fees and costs

As well as tuition fees, you’ll need to pay other fees and costs.

These include:

• an application processing fee
• Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
• Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
