Undergraduate fees
Australian and international undergraduate students pay tuition fees for studying at UWA, but fees for Australian students are partially subsidised by the Australian government.

You should carefully consider all the costs involved when applying to study at university.
Tuition fees are not your only expense – you may need to find accommodation, travel to and from university, buy books, pens, paper, and think about food and entertainment, such as joining clubs.
Knowing how much everything is going to cost must be fully researched – you'll find more information from the Student Financial Aid Service.
The annual cost of living depends on your lifestyle and the type of accommodation you choose, but A$450-$650 per week is generally sufficient for most students to live comfortably. This does not include tuition fees, medical insurance cover, all textbooks or any airfares.
The following comparative table is a guide only. It gives an indication of the type of expenses and average costs students will need to meet. Students with a family (spouse and one child) should budget a minimum of $1,000 per week (A$52,000 per year) for living expenses.
