The total cost of study varies depending on a number of factors, including whether you study full-time or part-time and the length of the program. You can use UNSW's Degree Finder tool to find out the estimated cost — simply search for your degree and click the 'fees and scholarships' tab.

Yes. There are several options available including Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs), which subsidise the cost of your degree through the Australian Government; FEE-HELP loans, which allow eligible domestic students to defer tuition fees and repay them through the ATO once earning above a threshold; employer tuition reimbursement; and potentially claiming study expenses as a tax deduction through the ATO.

FEE-HELP is a higher education loan program provided by the Australian Government that helps fee-paying postgraduate students cover the upfront costs of their full tuition or part of their tuition fees. Unlike private loans, compulsory repayments of the FEE-HELP debt are deducted from your income by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) once you start earning above the repayment threshold. You can also make voluntary repayments at any time.

Yes. You can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), also known as 'advanced standing' or 'credit transfer', to have your previous study recognised and the credit transferred to your current degree program at UNSW. RPL will reduce the total cost of your study by reducing the number of individual courses you are charged tuition fees for. For certain postgraduate programs, professional experience in the discipline may also be recognised.

Many employers recognise the career advancement benefits of postgraduate study and may be willing to pay some or all of your study costs. UNSW recommends preparing your case by researching the program, establishing links between the coursework and career advancement, and clearly outlining the benefits and return on investment to your employer. If your employer agrees to fund your study, they will likely ask for a contractual commitment to completing the program.
