Calculating your tuition fees for International fee places
Undergraduate study
Refer to the international undergraduate subject fees - note that these fees listed are for 100 credit points (1 EFTSL) that you undertake. 100 credit points is a standard full-time load for one year of study. Fees are charged based on the EFTSL value of the subject in each semester. For example if a subject is worth 12.5 credit points (0.125 EFTSL) then the fee charged is 0.125 multiplied by the $/EFTSL fee.
All year-long subjects are required to have their fees paid in full in semester 1. For example, if a year-long subject is worth 37.5 credit points (0.375 EFTSL) then the fee is charged as 0.375 multiplied
by the $/EFTSL fee in Semester 1.
The total fees you will pay in any year are the sum of the subject fees for all subjects in which you are enrolled. For details of the EFTSL value and discipline of every subject at the University see the Subject Fee Calculator (you may check the Course and Subject Handbook and work out which subjects you take for your course).
Example
Chen is an international student who enrols in a Bachelor of Science in 2010. She enrols in a total of 100 credit points (1 EFTSL), comprising 8 subjects: 4 science subjects (12.5 credit points each); 2 commerce subjects (12.5 credit points each); and 2 maths subjects (12.5 credit points each)
Chen’s tuition fees for 2010 are calculated as: (4 x 0.125 x $30,000) + (2 x 0.125 x $29,700)
+ (2 x 0.125 x $28,250) = $29,487.50
Graduate study (by coursework) - commenced course in 2010^
Refer to the graduate course fees - note that the course fees are applicable for all students commencing in the course in 2010. Each subject that you undertake has an EFTSL, or credit point value; 100 credit points is a standard full-time load for one year of study.
For example, if you undertake 8 subjects worth 12.5 credit points each (0.125 EFTSL) then your total study load for the year is 1 EFTSL and you will pay the amount listed. If you undertake more or less than 1 EFTSL in a year the amount charged will increase or decrease correspondingly.
Example
Frankie is an international student who enrols in a Graduate Certificate in Wine Technology and Viticulture in 2010. He enrols in a total of 50 credit points (0.5EFTSL) in Semester 1 and completes his degree.
Frankie’s tuition fees for 2010 are calculated as: $28,500 x 0.5 = $14,250
Graduate study (by research) - commenced course in 2010^
Fees are based on the workload (EFTSL) you undertake in each semester. Research semesters differ from coursework semesters
in that semester 1 is defined as 1 January to 30 June (six months) and semester 2 is defined as 1 July to 31 December (six months).
You will be charged on a daily pro rata basis. Adjustments for commencing research students If you enrol after a semester commencement date, your first semester fees will be adjusted to take account of the number of days you will actually be enrolled.
Example
Eunice is an international student who enrols in a Master of Education (by Research). She starts her degree on 1 January
with a workload of 0.5 EFTSL.
Eunice’s Semester 1 tuition fee is calculated as: $21,400 x 0.5 = $10,700
However if Eunice did not commence until 20 March, her tuition fees would be adjusted to take account of the fact that her first
semester will be of only 103 days duration.
This means she will only be charged from 20 March, thus her tuition fee will be calculated as: $21,400 x 0.5 x 103/181 = $6,089
^If you have commenced your current graduate course prior to 2010, the amount you are charged in 2010 is the sum of the fees for all
subjects in which you enrol. Calculate your tuition fees is semilar to the undergraduate study above. Refer to the international graduate subject fees for more information.
