Postgraduate CSP courses

There's never been a better time to study, with fees heavily subsidised and HECS-HELP loans available for select postgraduate courses in 2025.

Enhance your skills with a graduate certificate or follow a new passion with a masters degree!

If you're enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), the government pays a portion of your fees while you pay the remaining balance – which is your ‘student contribution’.

Your student contribution can be paid up front or paid later through tax, when your income passes the repayment threshold.
