Postgraduate International Student Fees & Charges 2016
Tuition
Tuition costs vary depending on the course being studied, as well as the study load. Courses such as Education, Law and Nursing may attract higher fees and/or a greater study load per semester. Tuition fees may vary in subsequent years. All fees for the first year are to be paid at least four weeks prior to the start of the first semester. Second and subsequent years’ tuition fees are payable each semester, two weeks prior to the start of semester. The University does not offer payment by instalment or extensions to payment due dates.
Living Expenses
As a general guide, you could expect to spend around AU$250 to $350 per week on living expenses, not including tuition fees or accommodation. Living expenses include food, transport, entertainment, books and other items such as clothing. On average, an international student needs AU$20,000 - $25,000 per year for all living expenses.
Accommodation Costs
Accommodation costs vary depending on the type of arrangement chosen- residential college, shared apartment, living alone in rented accommodation or staying with relatives.
