How much will my course cost?
University is an important investment in your future.
Course information on our site includes an indicative fee for each course. This gives you an estimate of how much the first year of the course will cost if you enrol full-time in the standard units.
Your actual fees might be different. The amount you pay depends on the units you choose, the number of units you enrol in and the year you study.
Fees will increase annually, with the new rate applied at the start of each year.
Some courses may have extra costs for equipment, course-specific materials, practical training, protective clothing and field trips. Other costs could include application fees and credit card surcharges.

Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP)
As a domestic student, you could be entitled to a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) at university. This means that the Australian Government subsidises your fees so that you only pay the remainder of the fees through a 'student contribution' amount. To be eligible for a CSP, you must satisfy one of the following residency requirements:
- Australian citizen, and will undertake at least one unit of study in Australia that contributes to your course of study
- New Zealand citizen, living in Australia for the teaching period, unless your course requires you to live elsewhere
- Holder of an Australian permanent visa (including humanitarian visa holders), and living in Australia for the teaching period, unless your course requires you to live elsewhere.
Postgraduate students
Most domestic students in postgraduate courses are offered domestic fee paying places.
Tuition fees are based on the units you study, taking into account the principal subject matter of the unit and the level of study. View the cost of individual units to check the actual amount of tuition fees.
You may be eligible for a FEE-HELP loan to help you pay for your course.
Course information includes an indicative cost per year. This is calculated as an average over the whole course using the most common units in which students enrol.
Some postgraduate courses are eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place.
Student Services and Amenities Fee

The SSAF Advisory Group meet three times a year to discuss and approve SSAF funded initiatives. The group consists of representatives from the Student Guild, Academic Division, Chancellery and Administrative Services.
Ideas for new initiatives and feedback on existing initiatives are collected from students through:

How much will courses cost?
University is an important investment in your student's future.
Course information on our site includes an indicative fee for each course. This gives you an estimate of how much the first year of the course will cost if you enrol full-time in the standard units.
Your actual fees might be different. The amount you pay depends on the units you choose, the number of units you enrol in and the year you study.
Fees will increase annually, with the new rate applied at the start of each year.
Some courses may have extra costs for equipment, course-specific materials, practical training, protective clothing and field trips. Other costs could include application fees and credit card surcharges.

Student Services and Amenities Fee
Each semester, students need to pay the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). This fee is based on the units they've enrolled in. The maximum fee for 2024 is $351. In 2025, the maximum fee will be $365.
The SSAF goes toward non-academic university services, like health and welfare, employment and career advice, and enriching campus culture.
The SSAF Advisory Group meet three times a year to discuss and approve SSAF funded initiatives. The group consists of representatives from the Student Guild, Academic Division, Chancellery and Administrative Services.
Ideas for new initiatives and feedback on existing initiatives are collected from students through:
- an annual invitation to students to feedback on proposed initiatives
- consultation with QUT Student Guild
- feedback on existing SSAF initiatives
- feedback on QUT services.
Who the fee applies to
The fee applies to domestic students studying:
- undergraduate certificates
- diplomas
- undergraduate (including honours) degrees
- postgraduate coursework degrees.
From 2022 the SSAF will apply to students studying on campus, online and in external study modes.
International students don't have to pay the SSAF.
When to pay
Each semester or teaching period students will receive an invoice about two weeks before the start of each semester or teaching period. We don't issue them when they enrol.
They'll need to pay or defer the fee by the teaching period census date. If they don't they'll receive a sanction on their student account.
Ways to pay
Fees can be paid in a variety of different ways, including:
- Flywire (telegraphic transfer)
- online by credit card
- BPAY
- direct deposit
- by phone
- in person via Australia Post by:
- credit card
- EFTPOS
- cash.

Student contribution amounts
The government introduced legislation that may change the amount you pay for your student contribution amount in your Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) from 2021. If you are a continuing student (enrolled before 1 January 2021) studying units in disciplines with increased student contribution amounts, you will continue paying the same amount (subject to indexation) for those units as you would have, had the reforms not been implemented.
The legislation also:
- requires all students who commenced study from 1 January 2021 to provide a Unique Student Identifier (USI) to be eligible for a Commonwealth assistance or a HELP loan
- reduces the 25% FEE-HELP loan fee to 20% from 1 January 2022
- requires students to maintain a 50% overall pass rate to remain eligible for Commonwealth assistance from 2022
- re-introduces 7 years of Student Learning Entitlement (SLE) for Commonwealth Supported Places from 2022.
The legislation that reintroduced the 10% discount for paying student contribution amounts up front has now been repealed. This will apply to units with a census date from 1 January 2023.
