Fees

Learn about course fees and other expenses you'll need to consider when you study with us – and ways to make paying them easier.

Types of university course fees

There are three main types of course fees – depending on the type of place you have and your circumstances.

Type 1

Commonwealth supported place (CSP) fees

A Commonwealth supported place is a place where the government pays part of your subject fees. This part payment is a subsidy, not a loan, and you don't have to pay it back. Most domestic students studying an undergraduate course are eligible for a CSP, although there are a few available on select postgraduate courses.

Type 2

Full fee-paying place fees

Full fee-paying places are not subsidised by the government. This means you'll need to cover the full cost of your course. Generally, domestic postgraduate students secure a full fee-paying place.

Type 3

Single subject study fees

Tuition fees for studying single subjects are charged per subject and are the same cost whether you are studying on campus or online.

Fees are subject to annual increases, so it's important to stay up-to-date with the cost of fees relating to the year you are studying.

Additional fees

Besides your course fees, there are some other costs associated with studying at uni.

Most students pay the SSAF. It contributes towards non-academic support services and facilities that all students can access. It's paid per subject and you can apply for a loan to defer your payment.

More on SSAF

Depending on your course and your study mode, you may have to budget for some other expenses. These could include textbooks, accommodation, costs to attend workplace learning or intensive schools, and library fees such as photocopying and printing.
