Other costs
In addition to tuition fees, there are other fees and costs such as the Student Services and Amenities fee (SSAF).
Commonwealth supported places (CSP)
A Commonwealth supported place (CSP) means your course fees are partially subsidised by the Australian Government and you pay a Student Contribution Amount.
Please see our Commonwealth supported places page for more details.
Full fee courses
Most domestic postgraduate students study in a full fee-paying place, due to the limited availability of CSPs.
The University sets annual course fees for single postgraduate coursework degrees, which differ depending on the course. Search for your course to find out the tuition fee.
FEE-HELP loans
As a full-fee paying student you may be eligible for FEE-HELP, a government scheme assisting eligible students to access a loan to help cover all or part of their tuition fees.
Research Training Program funding
Tuition fees for domestic students undertaking a Higher Degree Research (HDR) at the University of Sydney are usually funded by the Australian Government through an Research Training Program (RTP) Tuition Fee Offset.
