For some units of study there may be additional charges for field trips and lecture notes. See costs for estimates of other living expenses for a university student in Sydney. In addition to tuition, students also pay compulsory annual subscription fees which, at the University of Sydney, go towards supporting the Student's Union , the Student Representative Council, the postgraduate student's association and the various sports associations supported by the Sports Union and Women's Sports Association . These bodies provide valuable services to all students and enrich the life of the University. The payment details and procedure will be explained in your letter of offer from the University.
Medical insurance is compulsory for all international students.
This insurance provides free or discounted access to the University Health Service and to public hospitals. If you have any existing health concerns, you should contact the International Student Services Unit before you leave your home country. Medical insurance for higher levels is your own responsibility. If you would like to study at the University of Sydney but would prefer not to pay the fees associated with the Study Abroad program, see the Student Exchange program. Please note that refunds cannot be provided in Australia and will only be sent to a non-Australian address in Australian dollars.
