Tuition Fees
Australian citizens and permanent residents
In 2011, it is anticipated that all domestic students who enrol in a higher degree by research program at the University of Adelaide will be allocated a Research Training Scheme (RTS) place. An RTS place entitles the holder to an exemption from HECS for up to four years of full-time candidature for a doctoral degree or two years for a Masters by Research degree. Extensions of candidature beyond four or two years respectively may attract HECS liability and/or fees payable to the University.
Further information about the Research Training Scheme is available from the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) website: http://www.deewr.gov.au
International students
Tuition fees for international students are dependent on the program of enrolment. In 2011, annual fees for a research degree range from AUD $21,000 to AUD $41,000 per year. Further information.
Note that in some circumstances, such as withdrawal from your program or the granting of Australian permanent residency, you may be entitled to a partial refund of your tuition fees.
