Tuition Fees & Scholarships

The following table indicates the full tuition fee per 9 credit point unit of study for 2024. The applicable tuition is that which is according to the level of the unit and not the level of the course as such. For example, a student undertaking a Bachelor of Theology may, under certain circumstances, enrol in a postgraduate unit within the 9200 series. In such cases, the postgraduate unit fee would be charged even though the student is enrolled in an undergraduate course of study.

Tuition fees have remained unchanged since 2021. These tuition fees are inclusive of the relevant Sydney College of Divinity student administration fee.

5100 series undergraduate units of study: $390.00

7100 - 7200 series undergraduate units of study: $1,170.00

8100 - 9200 series postgraduate units of study: $1,440.00
