A CSP is a place in a course where Deakin receives some funding from the Australian Government. This means you’ll only need to contribute part of the cost of your course – this is referred to as the ‘student contribution’. In addition, if you meet the eligibility criteria and would prefer to defer your student contribution, you can apply for HECS-HELP.
