Fees & costs

Communications and Academic Literacy (CAL) must be completed as part of each Diploma Program.

Note: The program tuition fee that is quoted on your Letter of Offer is indicative and takes into account a range of factors such as: 

• The calendar year in which you undertake your study in the course. For example, you may have commenced your Diploma in 2024, however you may undertake courses in 2025.
• Studying elective courses outside of your main program area. For example you may be enrolled in the Diploma in Business however you may have undertaken an elective unit from the Diploma in Media and Communication.
• Potential course variations to your Diploma studies.

Fees are reviewed annually and may exceed the indicative figures listed, so it’s important to remember that indicative tuition fees shown above are not guaranteed. Any update to fees is effective from the start of each calendar year. The indicative fees listed here are for tuition only – other fees and charges are not included.

When you enrol into new courses in your subsequent study terms at UNSW College, a fee statement will be generated in myUNSW indicating the precise tuition fee amount that you will need to pay.

*Each teaching period has a payment due date, when tuition fee payments are due, and a census date. The census date is the last day you can withdraw from a course without financial penalty. You can also find the payment due dates on your student Fee Statement.

This program is currently offered as a full-fee paying course, and FEE-HELP is not available. Fees are charged per term, based on the subjects you are enrolled in and are due on payment due date each term (refer to Key dates). Payment due date is different to Census date. The census date is the last day you can withdraw from a course without financial penalty.

Please note: This information is provided as a general guide and applies to full-fee paying domestic students.

If you are a domestic student who received a slipback offer to study a UNSW Diploma under the Gateway Admission Pathway, these fees do not apply. Please refer to this page for more information: Gateway Admission Pathway | UNSW College.
