Finances
As a student from Canada studying at an Australian university, you will be considered an international student and therefore charged international student tuition fees.
Generally speaking, the cost of tuition can rise 3% – 5% each year of the program, effective at the start of each calendar year. Not all universities and programs have tuition increases during the course of the program. If you have any questions or concerns about your tuition fees, please be sure to contact your OzTREKK student advisor.
