Tuition for graduate studies will depend upon your program of study. Most project or thesis-based programs have a per term cost. Course-based programs are assessed tuition for each class you take. Some programs have a flat tuition amount either for the entire program or per term.

All programs also have student fees that are charged for each term to cover services like health insurance or a bus pass.

Doctoral students pay tuition three times a year for as long as they are enrolled in their program. Both international and domestic PhD students pay the same rate.

Course-based master's and postgraduate diploma programs

Students in course-based programs pay tuition for each class they take. Every class is assigned a number of credit units (usually three) which determines their cost. If a student is not enrolled in any classes for a term, they will need to register in a 'Maintenance of Status' class that is 3 credits to stay in their program.

Graduate students in course-based programs registered in any undergraduate classes will be assessed tuition for these classes at the undergraduate rate. International graduate students in these programs registered in undergraduate courses, whether or not the classes are part of their program of study, will also be assessed the undergraduate international differential rate of 4.2.
