At CQU, a range of postgraduate degrees have been approved to offer Commonwealth Supported Places, which means your course fees could be significantly reduced.

Eligible students who are offered a Commonwealth Supported Place will pay the student contribution amount, rather than full tuition fees. Click through to the course page to see the indicative student contribution for your course of interest.

Please note, for those who may not be eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place, or when Commonwealth Supported Places are full, the postgraduate courses listed on this page will still have Domestic Full Fee places available. When you apply, you'll be advised whether your place is Commonwealth Supported or a Full-Fee Domestic Place. Apply early to take advantage of the Commonwealth Supported Places available.

Our postgraduate courses are available to start in Term 1 (March) and many have full-time and part-time study options. You can also apply to start in Term 2 (July) for some courses. Courses offered on our hyperflexible online learning platform can be started anytime. For more information on availabilities, visit the individual course webpages.
