International student fees – The University of Western Australia
Loading…
Understanding university course fees as an international student can sometimes be confusing, but we’re here to make the process easier for you. Here is all the important information you need to know about international student course fees when you choose to study with us at UWA.
The amount you will need to pay as an international student for tuition fees depends on the course of study and your enrolment. New students can refer to their Acceptance of Offer Contract and once enrolled, their Statement of Account for an indication of total tuition fees. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to increase, as outlined in the UWA Acceptance Contract, so please keep this in mind too.
Please see Fee Calculator for the annual course charges.
International students will need to pay tuition fees unless sponsored or awarded a scholarship. Please see the Fee Calculator for the annual Higher Degree Research (HDR) course charges. However, you may also be eligible for assistance under the Commonwealth Government’s Research Training Program (RTP).
International onshore students admitted to a HDR under the RTP are eligible for a RTP fees offset and/or stipend. A RTP fees offset pays for the tuition fees for the duration of the course, up to a maximum of four years full-time equivalent study for a doctorate by research and two years full-time equivalent study for a master’s by research. A RTP stipend assists HDR students with their living costs while undertaking a HDR course. Stipend scholarships to support living expenses are available during the International Scholarship Round. More information can be found on the HDR scholarships page.
All international students are offered as full fee-paying places. Your annual course fees are payable as a lump sum but can be paid in two instalments on a semester basis. Unfortunately, a late fee will apply if tuition fees are not paid by the census date, so make sure you don’t leave it too late! We understand that circumstances may change, so international students can apply for a refund of fees provided that they meet certain conditions. You can find out more about refunds here.
International students applying directly to UWA and agents applying on behalf of students to study at UWA will need to pay a non-refundable fee of $150. The application will not be processed until the Application Fee has been charged successfully.
At UWA, a compulsory Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) is payable for each year or part-year of your study. This fee is used to improve the quality and quantity of services to all students. An electronic SSAF Statement of Account notification fee will be sent to your UWA student email address each semester following your enrolment.
The Department of Home Affairs requires all international students to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the whole duration of their student visa. This is an insurance to help you meet the costs of any medical care you will need when studying in Australia and will be required from the time you arrive. You may obtain OSHC from the provider of your choice but UWA’s preferred provider for all international students is Medibank. On acceptance and payment of your offer, UWA can arrange health cover with Medibank for the duration of your student visa if required.
As an international student, you will also need to factor in the costs for living in Perth, for the duration of your studies. This includes accommodation, groceries, travel, bills, textbooks and fun! Find out more about the cost of living in Australia here.
