Fees and charges

There are several costs to consider before you start your application. Besides your course fees, there may be other costs you could incur, including living expenses.

Tuition fees

Curtin University is currently working through what the Higher Education Reform will mean for current and future students. To keep up to date with changes as they occur, please view the Higher Education website.

Living expenses

Along with your university fees, there will be a range of living expenses that you may have to consider, depending on your circumstances.

Incidental Fees

Incidental Fees are non-tuition fees that are specific to your course

Keep in mind there may be some incidental costs specific to your course. For example, if your study involves using a laboratory, you may need a lab coat, safety glasses and gumboots. Or, if you take a jewellery design unit, you will need to pay for some of the materials you use. These are called incidental fees.

Your tuition fees do not cover the cost of some additional items required for studying a particular unit or course, such as:

You may also incur day-to-day expenses while attending university, and will need to plan your budget around your personal circumstances.

For more information on the incidental fees for specific courses, contact the relevant head of school or course coordinator in your intended area of study. This contact information can be found on the unit outline located within Blackboard.
