The cost of postgrad study

Worried about the cost of postgrad studies? Don’t let it stop you from moving forward. You'll be glad to hear that you don't need to pay a lot of money in advance. Our fees are charged on a semester basis and you only pay for the units you've taken in that semester.

If you're an Australian citizen, you can choose from these payment methods:

• Pay upfront each semester.
• Defer all of your semester's fees through FEE-HELP.
• Pay a portion of your semester's fees upfront and defer a portion through FEE-HELP.

About FEE-HELP

Many students choose to defer their fees through FEE-HELP. Here’s how it works if you’re eligible:

• You don't need to pay your fees until you are earning over $43,151 per year.
• Once you're earning more than this amount, you'll pay slightly more tax which will go towards paying off your FEE-HELP loan.
• You don't need to be means-tested to be eligible for FEE-HELP, and your loan doesn’t attract interest.

Workplace sponsorships

If you’re studying to upgrade your professional skills, speak to your employer to find out whether they have a program in place. Many companies may be prepared to offer financial support, study leave or both!

One of the best things about postgrad study at Murdoch is that you can personalise your qualification to suit your experience and industry. We’ll help you to find the course that’s right for you.
