# The 2018 indicative Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) fee is based on a typical enrolment for an Australian domestic student enrolled in two trimesters of full-time study, or 8 credit points, unless otherwise indicated. This fee should be used as a guide only and is subject to change.

* The 2019 annual course fee for international students indicates the tuition fee for two trimesters of full-time study, or 8 credit points, unless otherwise indicated. Additional fees may apply. This fee is subject to change for 2020. Visit deakin.edu.au/int-fees for latest information.
