UNIVERSITIES

Tuition fees for international students to study at an Australian university start from $AUS20,000 per year, with the average cost being over $30,000 per year. 

The actual fee for a course is based on the number of units you need to complete to obtain the qualification.  Australian degrees can be shorter than other countries, for example, Australian:

Bachelor degrees = 3 years full-time study
Professional or Honours degrees = 4 years full-time study
Masters degrees = 1.5-2 years full-time study

Some Australian universities have below-average tuition fees due to their location or ethos to provide education to international students.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET)

Australia has an internationally renowned vocational education and training (VET) sector that offers lower-level qualifications, sometimes over shorter periods, and substantially less than a university degree.  These courses also provide pathways into university degrees.  VET courses can run for 6 to18 months, and course tuition fees range from $AUS4,000-$AUS20,000 per year.

HIGH SCHOOL

Australia also offers international High School students the opportunity to live and study in Australia through a High School Year Abroad program.  Tuition fees range from $AUS4,000 to $AUS18,000.
