How to understand these 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.
