The program costs listed are provided as a general guide only. They have been sourced from publicly available information or individual universities and business schools. In relying on the list below potential students should be aware:

• The program costs were sourced in September 2017 for students commencing in 2017 but may change in the future at each school’s discretion;
• Where schools have not provided full program fees of 2017, we have made a judgement on the annual program costs based on information available. For instance, many schools provide on an indicative subject fee for a program that would take 3 years to complete. In these cases, we assume there are 4 subjects per semester and there are 2 semesters running in a year, indicative annual fees extrapolated by multiply 8 subjects in a year (ie $3,000per subject x 8 = $24,000pa); and
• Current fees for units (variably called courses, subjects, credit points etc) may increase in the future before the completion of your program, increasing the overall cost of your program; and
• The program costs listed may or may not include incidentals like textbooks and other learning materials. In the case of study tours, these additional program costs can be substantial.
