UTS International students tuition fees by course

Application fee

A non refundable A$100 application fee is payable with all applications for study as an international student at UTS.

The application fee is waived if:

  • current UTS students are applying for a second degree program at UTS
  • current students at INSEARCH are applying for entry to a UTS course.

Health cover

To be granted a student visa, international students are required to take out Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).

UTS has an arrangement with Medibank Private (opens an external site) to organise Medibank Private OSHC on behalf of commencing students. If you would like UTS to arrange OSHC on your behalf, you must include payment for the initial OSHC fee with your Acceptance of Offer Form and your tuition fee deposit.

Alternatively, you can make your own arrangements with another insurance provider. If you wish to make your own OSHC arrangements with another insurance provider, you must include evidence of your insurance with your Acceptance of Offer and tuition fee deposit.

Medibank Private OSHC renewal

You must renew your Medibank Private OSHC every year.

To renew your Medibank Private OSHC you will need your:

  • Medibank Private membership card
  • passport, and
  • a copy of your eCoE which confirms that you are continuing your studies.

You can pay your Medibank Private OSHC annual premium at any Medibank Private retail centre (opens an external site) , or you can pay online (opens an external site).

New student services and amenities fee

The Higher Education Legislation Amendment (Student Services and Amenities) Bill was passed in late 2011 by the Australian Parliament, allowing universities and other higher education providers to charge an annual student services and amenities fee from 2012.

The amendment is a government initiative to increase student support services and facilities in Australian universities.

The student services and amenities fee will apply to international students at UTS from January 2013. All additional funds raised from this fee will be used to provide students with better services and amenities on campus.
