What it costs
Indicative annual international tuition across the 4,584 offerings whose universities publish a fee, in Australian dollars as published.
- Lowest published
- A$8,000per year
- Midpoint
- A$45,800per year (median)
- Highest published
- A$129,700per year
The midpoint is the median, so a handful of six-figure degrees do not distort it. No exchange rate is shown: a stale conversion on a page about money is worse than none. Tuition is only part of the cost — living expenses, the visa application and health cover are separate.
English requirements

Entry requirements from an Indian qualification
The catalogue records each course's English requirement and, where a university publishes one, its academic threshold — but it does not yet hold a country-by-country equivalence table. What a CBSE, ISC, state-board or three-year bachelor's result converts to is answered by a counsellor against your actual transcript, because getting it wrong costs an application fee or a visa refusal.
