Course costs

Each institution sets its own tuition fees for each course, so fees vary between institutions and courses. The course fees provided in the course descriptions available through the course search are indicative only and subject to change. In general, course fees are based on an average course load, which may vary depending on your exact enrolment.

Each institution has its own policy – check the institution entries for more information. All tuition fees are quoted in Australian dollars (AUD).
