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.

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.
