Study in Australia

Money Matters

Tuition fees

Each university sets its own tuition fees, so you will see different fees quoted depending on what subject you want to study, and where you want to study it. The least expensive courses are lecture-based (rather than laboratory or studio-based) such as a Bachelor or Master of Arts. The most expensive are specialist and professional degrees such as medicine, dentistry and veterinary science.

Each course will have its tuition fees clearly indicated on Study Options' course lists, but below are some general guidelines on what to expect. Please note that all figures quoted here are approximate, per year and cover tuition fees only.
