Tuition Fees and Living Costs
Planning Your Budget
As a rough guide, annual tuition for international students typically ranges from AUD 20,000 to AUD 45,000 depending on the course and university, with postgraduate professional programmes often at the higher end. The Australian government also sets a minimum living cost requirement for the student visa, which is reviewed and updated periodically.
These figures are indicative only. Your counsellor will confirm the current tuition fees for your shortlisted universities and the visa financial requirements in effect at the time of your application.
Scholarships and Funding
Reducing the Cost of Your Degree
Australian universities offer a range of merit based scholarships for international students, and some courses come with additional faculty specific funding. Our counsellors will flag relevant scholarships as soon as they open for your intake.
Scholarship eligibility, value, and availability are decided by the awarding university and can change with each intake.

Post study work visa categories, durations, and eligibility, including any pathway toward permanent residency, are set by the Australian government and are subject to change based on eligibility criteria and the immigration rules applicable at the time.
