Fees for international students
Overview
Applicants who are not Australian citizens or permanent residents, or are not citizens of New Zealand, will be considered as international students, and are accepted into the University only on a full-fee basis. The fee for 2010 will be AUD$57,360 p.a. + four years' health cover around $1,406. For more information on health cover, please refer to Health insurance for international students.
You will need to allow for around AUD$18,000 p.a. to cover living costs. For more information about living costs in Sydney please check the International Student Guide.
The University’s tuition fees are reviewed annually and may be varied during the period of study. International students who interrupt their studies or who do not make satisfactory progress and then join a later cohort of students will pay the fees applicable to that cohort.
