Domestic full fee-paying students

As a domestic fee-paying student, you can be enrolled in either an award or a non-award course.

The tuition fees charged for each study period depends on your course, when you commenced your studies, your study load and the type of study you are undertaking. The fee rates shown below are for award course studies. If you are enrolled in a non-award unit, your fees are available at non-award fee paying students or via Deakin's fee estimator.

What does a full fee-paying place mean?

A full fee paying place is one which the University does not receive any Australian Government funding. Students enrolled in these places are required to pay the full cost of their course.

Postgraduate domestic full fee-paying place

If you are enrolled in a postgraduate course, your tuition fees are charged based on the course you are enrolled in, when you enrolled, and the number of credit points you study. Different courses have different fees and these will change each year.

Before you calculate the cost of your course, you need to know which units you intend to study. You should always seek course advice in relation to your unit selection and course rules.

To estimate your postgraduate course fees, use Deakin's fee estimator.

Undergraduate domestic full fee-paying place

If you are enrolled in an undergraduate course, your tuition fees are charged on the units you enrol in. This means your fees are based on the units you choose to study and not a course price. The cost of each unit depends on a government classification known as a discipline band.

To calculate the total cost of your units, you need to know which units you will study and the discipline band. You should always seek course advice in relation to unit selection and course rules. Different units have different fees, which depend on how much each unit costs the University to provide. For example, units which require laboratories or special equipment may cost more than units that don’t.
