{/japopup} The 2018 results are in!
For the fourth consecutive year, Studymove has developed a report which enables institutions to benchmark their programs against current 2018 international student tuition fees for undergraduate, postgraduate and Study Abroad programs from all Australian universities and by all the major fields of study.
Using fee information published on each university website, Studymove analysed fee information for 4,677 programs in 2018.
We are excited to share some interesting results from our analysis:
1. Overall, fees increased by 6.2% in 2018 for UG & PG programs.
On average across all universities, the annual international tuition fee for international students in 2018 is 6.2% more than 2017.This compares with an average 4.9% increment reported in 2017.
In 2018, ten universities increased their average annual fees between 0% and 3%, twelve between 3% and 6%, seven between 7% and 9% and nine between 10% and 17%.
The increase in the average annual international tuition fee is once again higher than the forecast inflation rate of 2%-3%.
2. Fees increased in all areas of study.
On average across all universities, the annual international tuition fee for international students in 2018 is higher than 2017 in all fields of study for both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
