## Tuition by course level

## Undergraduate fees

**Your fees may be reduced** through a [Commonwealth supported place (CSP)](/study/fees-and-loans/domestic-student-tuition-fees/commonwealth-supported-places.html#what). Most domestic undergraduate students are eligible for CSP, and you’re automatically considered when you apply.

A CSP means you pay only a portion of your fees, called the student contribution amount (SCA). The SCA varies per study area and you pay either upfront or through a .

Under a CSP, the Australian government covers the rest of your tuition fees. Without a CSP, you pay full fees.

#### Additional costs, fees and incidentals

Consider [additional costs, fees and incidentals](/study/fees-and-loans/other-costs.html) that are either specific to your course or the University in general, for example materials and administrative fees.

#### Loans and scholarships

## Postgraduate coursework fees

#### Full-fee payments and Commonwealth supported places (CSP)

For most postgraduate coursework degrees, you pay the full cost of your course, which depends on your course and the year you commence your study. As a domestic student, you can apply to defer payment through a .

Some courses offer reduced fees through [Commonwealth supported places (CSP)](/study/fees-and-loans/domestic-student-tuition-fees/commonwealth-supported-places.html#what). CSPs are limited and there is no guarantee of a place being offered. A CSP means a portion of your fees are funded by the Australian Government and you pay only a part of the cost, called the student contribution amount (SCA), which varies per study area. As a domestic student, you may be eligible to defer your contribution through a .

You should refer to your formal letter of offer regarding the applicable fee rate and additional requirements.

Usually, the Australian government pays for your research tuition fees through the [Research Training Program (RTP) tuition fee offset](https://www.sydney.edu.au/scholarships/australian-government-research-training-program.html). You can select this during your course application.

Without an RTP, you pay full fees. In this case, you can apply for a [FEE-HELP government loan](/students/help-loans/fee-help.html).
