Typical subject fees
Students enrolling at the University of Melbourne in 2009 in an international fee place will pay tuition fees based on the particular subjects they choose to study.
Undergraduate, graduate and study abroad and exchange program subjects have been grouped into fee bands, based on the cost of teaching the subjects and the demand for the discipline in which they fall. The amount you are charged is the sum of the fees for all subjects in which you enrol.
The discipline fee band tables below set out the basis for calculating your fees but do not necessarily represent a typical enrolment. The discipline fee bands are determined by the content of the subject, not the course of which it forms a part, nor the faculty or school which is responsible for teaching it.

If you would like an estimate of what your course tuition fees will be in 2009 refer to the how to calculate your course tuition fees section. You can also download the 2009 International Student Tuition Fees (PDF*, 1.68mb, 16 pages), which details typical course tuition fees for each undergraduate and graduate course. As far as possible the fees provided in this schedule show the typical fees that a student enrolled in each course will pay for the course in 2009. However, these are indicative only and may vary depending on the subject level and discipline fee band of your enrolment.
For most courses the typical tuition fees are based on historical enrolments in the course, reflecting the discipline band of the subjects comprising the degree. For new courses the typical fees are based on the best estimate of typical course structure, reflecting the discipline band of the subjects comprising the degree. For the new generation degrees a typical fee range is shown, due to the wide range of variables that may affect the course structure.
Tuition fees for students commencing in semester two
If you are commencing your course in semester 2, 2009, your fees for your first semester of study will be those listed in the relevant 2009 discipline fee band table above. For the first semester of 2010, the fees you pay will be those approved for the 2010 academic year.
