For information on HECS, TAFE and general service fees please visit the Office of Prospective Students fees information . These are not fees charged by the university, but they are expenses most first year students incur. Examples of these types of expenses are textbooks, stationery, materials and equipment. All these expenses are a necessary part of completing a program. For example, nursing students have to buy a uniform and hospitality students must buy a set of knives.
Costs vary from program to program.
While it may seem expensive to study keep in mind that the only up front charge made by RMIT University is the General Service Fee. Equipment and textbooks etc. are additional item bought by students as they need them. These items are all invaluable to a student as they often form part of their professional library and resource material. While some students may struggle financially at times it is worth it in the long run. Overall, university graduates are finding well paid and rewarding careers.
