5. INTERNATIONAL TUITION FEES ADVICE FOR 2010
At The University of Queensland tuition fees are calculated on the basis of the courses you enrol in each
semester. Within most program rules, students can choose from a range of courses to meet program
requirements. As a result, it is not possible to calculate precisely the total cost of a program. The table
below provides a guide to the unit cost of a course in each discipline area. Most courses are worth 2 units.
A standard full time semester enrolment consists of 8 units (usually 4 courses).

6. The cost of each course is calculated by multiplying the number of units by the quoted unit fee. For
example, in 2010, a 2 unit Law course costs 2 x AUD$1665 = AUD$3330; and a full time semester of 4
courses (8 units) in Law will cost 2 x AUD$1665 x 4 = AUD$13320. A Fees Calculator is available at
www.uq.edu.au/study (click on the 'What it costs' link) to assist you to estimate your tuition fee based on
your course selection for each semester.
PLEASE NOTE:
Your deposit payment will reserve your place in this program for the semester indicated in your offer
letter. Any outstanding balance of fees must be paid by the fees due date. Penalties apply for payments
after this time.
Tuition fees are subject to annual review and cost indexation. The listed course fees are for students
commencing studies in 2010 and will be increased annually thereafter.

Any payment in excess of the charges for the semester in which the status changed, may be refunded to the
payer, otherwise the provisions of rule 1.2 will apply.
Application and payment of refunds:
Requests for tuition fee refunds must be made in writing to the Academic Registrar and submitted to the
Student Centre. Refunds are generally made to the person who originally paid the tuition fees and are

bank account in the student's home country.
