What You Pay
Non award students enrol in a single course of a selection of courses outside of a full degree program. They pay the same course fees as do students who are enrolled as Fee Paying students in full degree programs.
Courses are grouped into a number of academic subject areas where the first four letter abbreviation at the beginning of the course code tells you its subject area. A full list of academic subject areas is available.
Students who are studying as Non Award are required to pay the full cost of the tuition upfront to the University.

How to Calculate Your Fee
Each degree program requires the completion of a number of units. To accumulate the necessary units, students enrol in courses according to the degree requirements for each program. Each course has a unit value and this is ten (10) for most courses at the University of Newcastle. A normal full-time study load is 80 units in any year or 40 units per semester/trimester.
Courses are grouped into a number of academic subject areas where the first four letter abbreviation at the beginning of the course code tells you its subject area.
To calculate your exact fee, you should check the requirements of your program in the relevant program ehandbook.
Then refer to the relevant 2012 Fees Schedule table where the subject areas are listed in groups.

For example*, if in 2012 you were to undertake 3 courses in Mathematics (MATH), 2 courses in Philosophy (PHIL), 2 courses in History (HIST) and 1 course in Chemistry (CHEM) then you would calculate your fees as follows: MATH: 3 x 2665.00 = 7995.00 PHIL: 2 x 2070.00 = 4140.00 HIST: 2 x 2070.00 = 4140.00 CHEM: 1 x 3250.00 = 3250.00 TOTAL = $19525.00

*The above example is taken from the International Postgraduate Coursework Fees Schedule. It assumes all courses have a 10 unit value. If a course has a value other than 10, then the calculation needs to be weighted appropriately.
You can estimate costs for later years based on these rates. However, International Student course fees are adjusted regularly so it is recommended to ensure you refer to the correct Fees Schedule.
Student Services and Amenities Fee
New legislation has been passed by the Commonwealth Government which will allow the University to charge all enrolled students a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
This fee is being phased in for all student cohorts for study in 2013 and International students will not be charged until 2013.
All students will be charged a Student Services & Amenities Fee (SSAF) to assist with the funding of non-academic student services and amenities at the University.
In 2013 the SSAF will be charged each semester to a maximum for the year of $273 (full time study) and $204 (partial fee).
More information regarding SSAF can be found at:
