I liked that the postgraduate course offered a range of diverse and interesting elective subjects, with the option to choose a specialty. The course delivery was flexible, which meant I could balance my study around full-time work and personal responsibilities. Some subjects were offered via distance and others delivered through block sessions where I attended class for two days twice a semester, and then completed work independently.Now I have been able to apply the skills and knowledge I learned in my studies in my job, which has given me greater confidence in my work.

CostsCOURSEWORK

UOW offers Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) for a number of our postgraduate coursework programs. A CSP is where the Australian Government funds up to three quarters of the total tuition fee for the program. If you’re an eligible Commonwealth Supported Student you can access HECS-HELP to defer part or all of your tuition fees.

The remaining postgraduate coursework programs are full-fee paying, however you may be eligible to access FEE-HELP, a loan to cover part of or all of your tuition fees.

For information on fees and payment options, visit uow.edu.au/future/postgrad/costs

RESEARCH

For Australian citizens and permanent residents, most research programs are exempt from tuition fees. It is a UOW and Australian Government policy to award domestic Doctoral and Master of Philosophy students a fee exempt place. For further information, visit uow.edu.au/student/finances
