Fees and funding

To ensure you make the most of your time as a student, it’s important to be proactive about managing your money.

Fees

Fees are made up of tuition fees and non-tuition fees. The total cost of your fees each year will vary, depending on the subject(s) and qualification(s) you are studying, the number of courses you take, whether you are a domestic student or an International student, and whether you are studying at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
