Fees and costsCourse fees and student contributions

Most undergraduate places for domestic students at UQ are funded partly by the Australian Government (Commonwealth support) and partly by you (student contribution).

Fees are charged according to the courses you choose, not the program you’re enrolled in, so it’s not possible to publish a fixed fee for a program. Because most students can choose different electives during their program, costs will vary.

However, indicative annual fees are listed with each program on our Future Students website to help you plan your budget.

If you’re an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or an Australian permanent humanitarian visa holder and have a Commonwealth-supported place, you may also qualify for the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) to defer payment of your student contribution and Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). You will need to apply for a tax file number at ato.gov.au, if you don’t already have one, in order to obtain a HELP loan.

International students pay full tuition fees.

If you have a Commonwealth-supported place, your student contribution amount depends on the fee band level of the courses you choose (see table at above right).

future-students.uq.edu.au/study/ find-a-program

Plan your finances

Student Services and Amenities Fee

The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) is a compulsory fee that is used to subsidise, support or fund non-academic services for students, such as support services, advocacy, study skills, career development and employability.

UQ levies the SSAF – which is capped at a maximum of $308 for 2020 – according to whether you’re an internal or external student, and full-time or part-time. The fee is indexed annually.
