Tuition fees & costs

Fees are derived from the international tuition this provider registers against its own courses on the Commonwealth CRICOS register, annualised over each course's registered duration; the range is the 10th to 90th percentile across its undergraduate and coursework-postgraduate courses. Providers may also charge the capped Student Services and Amenities Fee, and you will need Overseas Student Health Cover on top. Always confirm the fee for your specific course with the provider before applying.

Admission requirements

A senior secondary qualification recognised as equivalent to an Australian Year 12 certificate. Domestic school leavers are ranked by their ATAR through the state admissions centre (UAC in NSW/ACT, VTAC in Victoria, QTAC in Queensland, SATAC in SA/NT, TISC in WA); international applicants are assessed against the recognised equivalent of their own qualification and may enter through a foundation year, a diploma pathway or with credit from prior study. Postgraduate entry normally requires a relevant bachelor’s degree, with a weighted average mark or GPA threshold and, for some programmes, professional experience or a portfolio.

Language: International applicants must evidence English proficiency. IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall is the common undergraduate and coursework-postgraduate standard, rising to 7.0–7.5 for teaching, nursing, medicine, law and social work. TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced and the university’s own English programmes are accepted as equivalents; the Department of Home Affairs sets a separate English threshold for the Student visa itself.
