Cost
tuition — AUD 46,500 total (international students)CRICOS: 'Diploma in Engineering' at The University of New South Wales (UNSW) (CRICOS course 095863M) publishes a FULL-COURSE (not annual) tuition fee of AUD 46500.00. Estimated total course cost: AUD 47500.00. ⚠ The register publishes this as an INDICATIVE fee for overseas students and it is stored as an estimate; the provider's own offer letter is the binding figure.Checked 2026-08-21 · data.gov.au
tuition — AUD 46,500 per year (international students)Derived annual fee: CRICOS publishes a WHOLE-COURSE tuition fee of AUD 46500.00 for 'Diploma in Engineering' at The University of New South Wales (UNSW), a course whose registered duration is EXACTLY 12 MONTHS. Because the course runs for exactly one year, the whole-course total and the annual fee are the same number: NO division, proration or apportionment has been applied and the figure is reproduced unchanged from the register. ⚠ The originating row (period='total') is retained unmodified alongside this one. ⚠ Rows whose fee exceeds AUD 60,000 are excluded from this derivation, because an implausible one-year fee is evidence the register's duration is wrong rather than that the course is expensive; this figure is below that bound. ⚠ CRICOS states this fee is INDICATIVE and it applies to OVERSEAS (international) students; it is not the rate for domestic Australian students. The provider's offer letter is the binding figure.Checked 2026-08-21 · data.gov.au
