International Tuition Fees

For information on international tuition rates, please see the Fees - International @ UOW web page.

Upon commencement tuition fees are paid up front - one session at a time.

The offer letter states the tuition fee payable per session for the first year of your enrolment, provided that you accept the current offer and commencement date. Students commencing in 2011 in courses of more than one year duration are subject to annual fee increases in subsequent years of enrolment, except for students who accepted and made payment for their course before 1 December 2010.

For international students enrolling in a Non Award Course, fees payable are the current years’ tuition fees relevant to the appropriate course as listed in the attachments below.

Please note: Should you change your course or campus after you have enrolled in your original course, you will be liable to pay the current tuition fees for the new course/or campus as displayed in your Fees Statement via SOLS. Please check the current fees links provided below for listings.

Students who in any one session undertake credit points in addition to the normal full-time load of 24 credit points per session, or 48 credit points per year, will be required to pay extra fees for that session at the equivalent rate per extra credit point.

You can view the listings below.

For information on international tuition rates, please see the Fees - International @ UOW web page.

Please note fees may differ from your original offer to the University of Wollongong due to the following reasons:

Change course preferences
Campus changes
Course transfers
Enrolment in more that 24 credit points
Annual and Intake enrolments (due dates are stated in your Fees Statement on SOLS)

Example: Ali commenced his Bachelor of Commerce in Spring session 2010 at $9600.00 (24 credit points a session) which is $400.00 per credit point.

He then requests a course transfer to the Bachelor of Information Systems, affective in Spring session 2011.

His fees for Spring session 2011 will increase to the 2011 Bachelor of Information Systems amount $11640.00 (24 credit points a session) which is now $485.00 per credit point.

Your Fee Statement in SOLS should always reflect your most up to date fees record including due dates.
