Finding tuition fees

Want to find out the cost of a La Trobe course? Search for the course on our Find A Course page.

You’ll find the cost listed in the ‘Overview’ section of the course page next to the ‘Annual tuition fee (A$)’. This is the fee for the displayed year of the course listed in Australian dollars. If you can’t see this information, check that you’re viewing the version of the course page designed for international students.

Fees are based on a standard annual credit point load of 120 credit points per year unless it’s noted otherwise. If you change your study load your course fees will also change.

You can estimate the total cost for your course based on the listed annual fee, but please note that fees can change year-on-year. We reserve the right to vary fees on an annual basis – however, fees will not normally rise above 7 per cent per annum. If we do increase the tuition fees for a course, this increase will take effect on 1 January the following year.

How to pay tuition fees

Your letter of offer contains important information, including indicative annual tuition fees. Once you’ve accepted your offer, you can pay via our International Online Application System.

This portal is a secure online service that allows you to make your tuition fees and Overseas Student Health Cover payments. You can use VISA/Mastercard or Western Union Business Solutions (in your local currency, where available).

We automatically receive a notification once you’ve successfully made the final payment. This gives you certainty of the final cost and will speed up how soon you receive your Confirmation of Enrolment, helping you apply for a visa sooner.

We’ve also partnered with the National Australia Bank and Western Union Business Solutions to ensure all payments are sent quickly and securely.

Important

We only accept telegraphic transfer through Western Union Business Solutions. You’ll need to upload your copy of the bank receipt (TT slip) for telegraphic transfer payment with your completed International Offer Acceptance Form on your application portal.

Student assistance schemes

The Australian Government offers the HECS-HELP and FEE-HELP loan schemes to help cover university fees. These fee assistance schemes can’t be used for other costs like accommodation or textbooks.

If you’re from overseas, you’re only eligible to access these fee assistance schemes if you hold an Australian Permanent Humanitarian Visa. If you’re in Australia on a student visa, or if you were in Australia on a student visa and you’ve obtained permanent residency, you won’t be able to access these schemes.

Contact La Trobe International for more information.
