Fees & fees support

All postgraduate coursework students pay tuition fees. However, a range of UOW courses offer Commonwealth supported places.

Commonwealth supported places

Many UOW coursework courses are eligible for a Commonwealth supported place (CSP).

A CSP is where the Australian Government subsidises up to three quarters of your total tuition fee. If you’re an eligible Commonwealth Supported Student you can also access HECS-HELP to defer all or part of your tuition fees. Find out about UOW Postgraduate Coursework courses with CSPs.

How to apply for a CSP

Eligible students who apply for and receive an offer for a Commonwealth supported program are automatically offered a CSP if places are available. There is no need to make a separate application. For more information on CSPs, visit studyassist.gov.au.

Financial support

Students who are accepted into a CSP can defer their student contribution fees by accessing a HECS-HELP Loan. Check your eligibility.

The remaining postgraduate coursework programs are full-fee paying. However, you may be eligible to access FEE-HELP, a loan to cover all or part of your tuition fees.

In an FFPP, the Australian Government does not contribute towards your cost of studies; you need to pay the full tuition fee for each subject in the course. Course fees are calculated per credit point, based on your course of study. For course fee prices, see Course Finder.

Financial support

Students accepted into a full-fee paying place may be eligible to defer their fees using a FEE-HELP Loan.
