International student tuition fees
International students pay tuition fees for study at the University of Melbourne. Each subject has a different fee, with prices varying for undergraduate and graduate subjects.
You pay tuition fees based on the particular subjects you choose to study. The amount you are charged is the sum of the fees for all subjects in which you enrol.
Subject fees are set within a fixed number of bands based on the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations discipline classification of the subject, with different prices charged for undergraduate, graduate and single subject study. The graduate rates also apply to any fee-paying research higher degree student.
It is compulsory for international students to take out Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) while studying in Australia on a student visa. OSHC Worldcare is the University's preferred OSHC provider. Details of costs can be obtained from their website.
