Australian Universities Tuition fees
International students are charged up-front tuition fees in Australia. These fees are very affordable and are consistently less expensive than the UK or USA.
Some Institutions make an additional charge to cover other student costs. These may include student organisation membership, library and laboratory costs and sports facility costs. You may also have to pay a specific charge for excursions, books, stationery and other essential material for some courses. These costs will vary depending on the course or institution therefore average costs are provided below and should only be used as a guide. All school tuition fees are exempt from Australia’s Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Institutions will advise you how to pay and when to pay your tuition fees.
