Frequently asked questions
What does the CRICOS course code mean?
Every course an Australian provider may teach to international students is registered on CRICOS with its own course code, under a provider code. Both are shown on each course below so you can verify the course on cricos.education.gov.au before you apply.
Are these tuition fees the full cost?
The fee shown is the provider's own published international tuition on the register. It excludes OSHC, living costs and student services fees. Where a provider publishes no fee we leave the field blank rather than estimate one.
What are the entry requirements for PhD Social Work in Australia?
Entry is set by each university, not nationally or by state. For a phd you will generally need the preceding qualification at the grade the university states, English at IELTS 6.0–7.0 or equivalent, and for international students a Confirmation of Enrolment before a subclass 500 student visa can be granted.
