Tuition fees for international students
La Trobe University offers undergraduate, postgraduate and research fee-paying places to international students. Annual tuition fees vary from course to course. All tuition fees are shown in Australian dollars and are for students commencing in the 2013 academic year only. Tuition fees do not include the cost of text books, health insurance or living expenses such as food, accommodation, transport and medical costs.
Students will be invoiced for fees based on their actual credit point load for each semester. Please refer to the information on the standard annual credit point load for a course.
Fees for 2013
Students commencing studies in 2013 should note that the tuition fee listed in their Letter of Offer is for commencing students for the 2013 academic year only.
Please note the University reserves the right to vary fees on an annual basis. Fees will not normally rise above 7 per cent per annum. Should the University decide to increase its fees, that increase will take effect on 1 January of the following year.
Credit point load
Tuition fees are also based on the standard credit point load of 120 credit points for each course or program per year. On occasion study loads may vary. Students will be invoiced for fees based on their actual credit point load for each study period. International students holding a student visa should note that changing a credit point load may affect their student visa. Please refer to individual course entries in this Handbook for the exact annual credit point loads.
