Higher Degree Research tuition fees

International students

Below are the published indicative fees or fee range for International students enrolled full-time (48 units) in Higher Degree Research (HDR) programs at the ANU. Fees are charged by course and are based on the discipline of the course. Annual fee costs may vary depending upon the number of units a student is enrolled in or if a student enrols in coursework. For more detailed program specific fees please refer to  page for the specific program that you are enrolled in or intending to apply for. 

For students holding an Australian Government Research Training Program International Fee Offset scholarship, these fees will reflect the annual value of that scholarship

If an International student is unable to complete their HDR program in 4 years they will be required to apply for a program extension.  If the student is not supported by a fee scholarship for the period of extension (eg. a tuition fee scholarship provided by your College), the student will be required to pay an extension of program fee (as outlined below) which will cover their enrolment for up to 6 months.
