The Australian Government introduced a range of measures that came into effect from 2021 under the Job Ready Graduates Package. The measures include changes to student contribution rates, FEE-HELP loan fees, Tertiary Access payments (TAP) and more.
Student contribution amounts for Commonwealth supported places (CSP) depend on when you commenced your current program at UNSW. The 2025 CSP costs for each group are outlined below.Note: Courses are charged based on relevant content which means, in some cases, the band amount may vary. Please refer to the UNSW Handbook for details.
-
The below table displays the UNSW tuition fee for a Commonwealth supported student, called 'student contribution amounts'. These amounts are shown per Equivalent Full-Time Study Load (EFTSL), which is one year of standard full-time study (i.e. 48 units of credit); and per 6 units of credit (or 0.125 EFTSL) which is a standard course load at UNSW.
Note: The cost will vary with the amount of units of credit attached to a course. In addition to tuition fees, UNSW will charge a Student Services & Amenities Fee.

2021 Grandfathering arrangements
The costs in this section are grandfathered, this means costs are based on pre-2021 changes to funding.
Grandfathering arrangements will be in place for students who would see an increase in their student contribution amounts. Under these arrangements, students who commenced their course of study (program) before 1 January 2021 facing increased student contribution amounts for a unit of study (course), will instead have their student contribution and Australian Government contribution amounts remain as they were under the previous arrangements (with existing rates being indexed by CPI each year).If continuing students are enrolled in units of study (courses) that will see their student contribution amount lowered, their student contributions will be the lowered amount and the Australian Government contribution would be the new rate.
-
-
The Australian Government has (currently) advised that a student may be eligible for a grandfathering arrangement under the Job Ready Graduates Package, if any of the following apply;
- you began your program (your ongoing program) with a UNSW before the commencement day (1 January 2021) but you have not completed your ongoing program immediately before that day;
- you completed your program (your earlier program) with UNSW before the commencement day (1 January 2021) and, on or after that day, you began your honours program with UNSW that relates to the earlier program and that is leading to a higher education award that is an honours degree;
- you were undertaking, in 2020, an enabling program and, on or after the commencement day (1 January 2021), you began another program that is leading to a higher education award; and
- you were, at any time before the commencement day, a Commonwealth supported student in relation to course in the ongoing program, earlier program or enabling program (as the case may be); and
- you undertake a course as part of the ongoing program, honours program or later program (as the case may be) that has a census date that is on or after the commencement day (1 January 2021); and
- that unit of study is a grandfathered unit.
-
- Any student who began their program (with a census date after the commencement day of 1 January 2021) where;
- you were not undertaking, in 2020, an enabling program; or
- you are not commencing an honours program (after the commencement day of 1 January 2021) with UNSW after completing a bachelor degree with UNSW in a related degree (before the commencement day of 1 January 2021).
- Any student who changes program after the commencement day of 1 January 2021. You must remain in your original program (where you began your studies prior to the commencement day of 1 January 2021) to remain eligible for the grandfathering arrangements;
- this includes moving from a dual/double/combined degree to a single degree. Any change to your program code due to a shift to or from single/dual/double/combined degrees will forfeit your eligibility for grandfathering of your tuition.
- Students in a domestic fee paying program that apply for a transfer to a Commonwealth supported place (CSP) in the same program, where the first census date in their CSP is after the commencement date of 1 January 2021.
- Students in an international fee paying program that apply for a Commonwealth supported place (CSP) in the same program, due to a residency change, where the first census date in their CSP is after the commencement date of 1 January 2021.
UNSW defines the following legislative phrases;
Course of Study Program Unit of Study Course Commencement Day The effective date of the legislation, 1 January 2021. This will apply to any census date on or after 1 January 2021. - Any student who began their program (with a census date after the commencement day of 1 January 2021) where;

How to calculate fees
- Current students can access fees on the Fee Statement in myUNSW at the beginning of each teaching period.
- Course fees can also be calculated by multiplying the cost by the total unit of credit (UOC). You can find the UOC values in the Handbook.
PLEASE NOTE:
Fees are charged at the course's level of study (i.e. undergraduate / postgraduate / research). This means that if you are a postgraduate student undertaking an undergraduate subject, you will be charged at the undergraduate rate. For example:
Example: An undergraduate student enrolling in an undergraduate course such as ATSI1011 which has a value of 6 UOC: The fee for this course will be $940 x 6 = $5,640 which is charged at the undergraduate rate.
