Fees and costs
Fees can seem complicated, but they’re important. We want to make it easy for you to understand our fee types, what your course will cost and how to pay.
Fee types
| Tuition fees | These cover the cost of each unit (subject) in your course. |
| Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) | This funds non-academic things (like events, wellbeing, careers and student rep groups) and is set by the Government on an annual basis. |
| Administration and other fees | These include individual charges for things you request (like academic transcripts, replacement ID cards and graduations), activities (such as field trips), and material items that you need for your course (like textbooks, uniforms or equipment). |
Course costs
The amount you will pay and the assistance you’re eligible for depends on your course, your citizenship, the type of place you’re offered and the year you started your studies. Want to know approximately how much your dream course will cost? Search for it and go to the fees section.
