Postgraduate Fee Information

The cost of postgraduate study will depend on your degree, however you can expect to incur expenses including tuition and student contributions, as well as additional costs like textbooks, equipment and parking.

Postgraduate programs at Western Sydney University are either Commonwealth Supported or Domestic Fee Paying, and if you are eligible, you may be able to obtain a HECS-HELP loan for payment of your student contribution or tuition fees.

The Australian government provides Western Sydney University with a specified number of Commonwealth Supported Places to which they provide a financial contribution towards the costs of study. Each student holding a Commonwealth Supported Place must then pay the remainder of their study costs via their Student Contribution.

Eligible postgraduate students have the option to apply for a HELP loan prior to the census date. You will need to refer to the Commonwealth Supported Students webpage for all your fee information.

Fees are charged per subejct according to the Western Sydney University approved fees schedule, and vary across awards and subjects. The fee schedule is revised each calendar year, and therefore fees may increase annually. The domestic postgraduate fee schedule can be downloaded below as an Excel document.

Please note that tuition fees do not include any other expenses associated with university study such as books, equipment, accommodation and living expenses
