Fee Support
Our tuition fees are already comparatively affordable, but on top of that, we offer various means of financial support to help with your tuition fees such as free English language courses for packaged students, scholarships, early bird discount and payment plan.
All students enrolling in a CQUEnglish packaged pathway with an academic course can study English for FREE. This offer is available for all three terms in 2021 and online or face-to-face at a CQUEnglish Language Centre in Brisbane, Melbourne, Rockhampton or Sydney - when the Australian borders open.
No matter how many weeks of English you need to study, you will save A$415 per week. So if you need to study English for 30 weeks, you will save an incredible A$12 450!
You may also be eligible for a 25% scholarship for your academic course, which provides even more savings. With a bit of pressure off financially, you can fully focus on your studies and making the most of your student experience.
CQUniversity-funded international student scholarships are valued at 25% of the course tuition fee. This 25% can definitely reduce some financial pressure. Below is an example of the cumulative savings for a two-year postgraduate course.
Imagine what you can do with this saving. Go on a holiday? Buy a car? Whatever it may be, if you're looking for affordable fees from a university with one of the best overall student experience and graduate employment outcomes in the country, then a CQUni qualification may just be right for you.
