Pay as you go:
The Online programmes administered by GradSchool are full fee-paying programmes, but you only pay for the postgraduate courses you take in the term that you attempt them, which means you don’t have to make an upfront financial commitment to the entire programme. Fees differ from programme to programme, and fees for individual courses can vary too, so please check the details of your specific postgraduate program. It’s also a good idea to review both your programme’s requirements and course availability before choosing your courses.
For a full schedule of programme fees visit the following website:

On this site you can find a ‘fees and program tool’ that will give you an indicative summary of what your postgraduate programme will cost.
Your course materials will contain the prescribed textbook and course notes/CDs that are set by the course coordinator unless otherwise stated. |

What kind of study-support will I get? |

The postgraduate programmes and courses we administer are taught by The University of Newcastle academics.
