HOW TO APPLY

Tuition fee estimates for domestic students

 

Find your qualification in the list below for an estimate of how much you're likely to pay in tuition fees for the points value shown. The final amount on your Statement of Fees in your Enrolment Agreement will reflect the courses you have chosen and will include additional non-tuition fees such as SSL. 

Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change so if your qualification takes more than one year to complete, your following year's fees will be at a higher rate.  The prices below are indicative only and UC reserves the right to change these published fees before enrolment to reflect any changes in Government or University Council Policy. See Fees and Fines Regulations for more information.
