Tuition Fees for International Research Higher Degree Students 2008
CONTENTS
The following 2008 fees apply to all commencing and continuing International undergraduate students, regardless of the year of commencement.
The University is currently undertaking a full review of its tuition fees for students. Fees for 2009 and beyond will be determined through this process.
General Information
This information applies to international students (i.e. NOT Australian citizens, permanent residents and New Zealand citizens) who are studying in research higher degree programs.
The fees listed below are in Australian dollars (AUD). Tuition fees for courses are set according to their academic subject area. A student's program fee may vary depending on their course selection.
The tuition fees cover teaching costs only. The fees listed below also do not include international and domestic travel, accommodation and meals, books, living costs or Overseas Student Health Cover charges.
The fee for the first semester of tuition is payable on acceptance of an offer of place in a course or a program. This is called the Deposit Fee and is currently $6,500 (in AUD). Payment for subsequent terms of study are due once the student completes the enrolment process for that term and tuition fees have been calculated. The student then receives a bill stating the amount due for that term.
All fees must be paid in full and on time. Non payment of tuition fees by the due date will result in the termination of a student's enrolment.
More information can be found in the University's Refund and Student Indebtedness policies.
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.
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.
The information below includes an indicative annual program fee. To calculate your exact fee, you should check the requirements of your program in the Postgraduate eHandbook. Then have a look at the table further down this page called Course Fees by Academic Subject Area 2008 where the subject areas are listed in groups.

|
For example, if in 2008 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 1940.00 = 5820.00 PHIL: 2 x 1940.00 = 3880.00 HIST: 2 x 1940.00 = 3880.00 CHEM: 1 x 2600.00 = 2600.00 TOTAL = $16180.00
|
The above example 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, course fees are increased each year.
