All temporary and provisional residents of Australia are deemed International Students and are required to pay tuition fees on a full fee paying basis. Permanent Residents of Australia are not permitted to enrol as International Students. International Students on a Student Visa must enrol in a full-time study program to meet Australian immigration requirements. Most courses have full-time loads of 48 credit points. Students who hold visa types other than Student Visas, and have approval to enrol in a course, may also be permitted to enrol on a part-time basis.
Tuition fees are payable in advance on a semesterly basis.
After you have enrolled in your course at QUT, your tuition fees for subsequent semesters or terms will remain at the same rate for the normal length of that course. Tuition fee payment dates are set at the start of classes each semester and invoices are mailed to students at least 6 weeks in advance. Students who take a Leave of Absence or withdraw from their course, however, will be charged the current fees for the year in which studies are recommenced. International student fees include tuition and student guild payments, laboratory deposits if applicable, and international student support services including airport greeting, accommodation services and English language support. Fees do not include textbooks, stationery, food accommodation, transportation or leisure activities.
