Commonwealth Supported Places
The Australian Government allocates a certain number of Commonwealth Supported Places to the University of Canberra each year, which are then distributed to students based on merit.
If you're a Commonwealth Supported Student (CSS), you'll only need to pay a portion of your tuition fees. This is known as the student contribution amount – the balance once the government subsidy is applied. This means your costs are much lower.
Limited CSP spaces are offered to students enrolled in selected postgraduate courses.
Your student contribution amount is:
- calculated per unit you're enrolled in
- dependent on the study areas they relate to
- reviewed and adjusted each year
