Fees for courses are charged by the Unit of Credit (UOC) according to the classification of the course (undergraduate, postgraduate, or research) and the student (domestic or international)*.
See the fee schedule to calculate the tuition fees for a course offered by the Australian School of Business.
International students
International students should refer to the UNSW International website for additional information on tuition fees and other associated costs.
Please note that within a course-based system, it is not possible to give a fixed annual fee for each program as this will vary from student to student depending on their actual enrolment. Nevertheless, it is possible to estimate annual fees and project the full program fees. The estimated annual and projected program fees are published in the UNSW International undergraduate student guide.
Commonwealth Supported Places and HECS-HELP
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is a higher education place for which the Commonwealth makes a contribution towards the cost of a student's education. Students pay a student contribution amount (previously known as a HECS charge), which varies depending on courses undertaken.
Student contributions are paid either up-front or are deferred and paid later through the tax system. HECS-HELP loans are available to eligible students enrolled in Commonwealth supported places. A HECS-HELP loan will cover all or part of the student contribution amount. The options available for paying student contributions will depend on citizenship or residency status.
