Review fees
University is a valuable investment in your future. Understand the costs for your study.
Your fees will depend on:
- which courses you enrol in, and
- whether you're a Commonwealth Supported or full-fee paying student at your home university.
Commonwealth Supported students
If you're enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place at your home university, you may be eligible for Commonwealth Support at UQ.
When you apply, you'll need to provide evidence that you have a Commonwealth Supported Place at your home university.
To help you estimate your costs, check the Commonwealth Supported students fee schedule.
You'll need to use your relevant year fee schedule and find your program to help you calculate the total cost of your fees for each course.
Multiply the rate per unit by the unit value to calculate your total estimated cost of course, e.g. rate per unit x unit value = total cost of course.
If you have a Commonwealth Supported Place, the Australian Government pays part of your course fees and you pay the rest. The part you pay is called the 'student contribution amount'. Student contribution amounts vary each year and depend on the courses you choose.
You may be eligible for a Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) loan to cover your student contribution amount.
Full-fee paying students
If you’re enrolled as a full-fee paying student at your home university, you will need to pay tuition fees to UQ for each course you enrol in.
Your tuition fees are program-based which means all courses within your program are charged at the same rate for a given academic year. Tuition fees increase annually.
To help you estimate your costs, check full-fee paying students fee schedule.

Fees if you withdraw or fail a course
Your fees are based on the courses you're enrolled in at the census date. This is the deadline to finalise your enrolment for each study period.
If you fail a course or withdraw from a course after the census date, you are still required to pay the tuition fee for that course. You must pay the fee even if you didn't attend classes or submit any assessment items.
If you correctly withdraw from the course by the census date, you won't have to pay the tuition fee or incur a debt for that course. If you had already paid your tuition fee, you can apply for a refund from UQ.
