Student fees

Domestic students

Domestic students are those students who were born in Australia or New Zealand, who have Australian or New Zealand citizenship, or who have Australian permanent residency status. USQ programs for undergraduate and postgraduate domestic students are either:

• Commonwealth supported, therefore liable for a student contribution amount
• not supported by the Commonwealth, therefore liable for full fees.

International students

International students are not supported by the Commonwealth and are liable to pay full fees.

Non-award study

Non-award study refers to enrolment in a subject or subjects which do not count towards an award program at USQ, including:

• preparatory programs, such as the Tertiary Preparation Program
• cross institutional study
• professional development courses. 

Depending on your citizenship or residency, students enrolled in a non-award program or course, may pay for their studies via: 

• full fees 
• or receive a scholarship and not pay fees.
