Fees + Studying postgrad (1 Viewer)

[KnifeySpoony]

So just wondering, say if i were to study post-grad would i have to pay upfront + full fees? or can it go towards HECS?
I've been reading around here and there and heard conflicting things, so i'm not entirely sure.

Well I would check with the particular university/course you want to do.

However, generally, post-graduate courses do not have commonwealth supported places- ie. you pay full fee. This means you cannot get HECS (hecs, is a loan system, but the government is also paying a percentage of the cost of your subjects. With post-graduate courses, the government isn't contributing towards the cost of your subjects). However, there is Fee-Help available, which is a government loan type system, so you can get a loan from the government to pay the full fees.

Again I would look up what particular course you want to study, and the particular university. However, there are scholarships that are also available for postgraduate study.
