Your tuition fees will vary depending on your course and the year you start. Our fees estimator tool will give you a better idea of your study costs. Remember, this is a guide only as tuition fees can change from year to year.
Your fees are paid when you accept your offer. Fees can be paid online. When we make you an offer, your Letter of Offer will include information about the fees that are due on acceptance. This payment is based on full-time enrolment. The actual fees you will be charged may differ once you select your units.
After you make the payment, we will issue you a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). You can then apply for your student visa.
