more than 100 credits per semester will have a higher annual tuition fee. Course changes will attract fee rates applicable at that time. A student should expect
that the indicative semester course fee, as shown on the letter of offer, might vary from the actual tuition fee according to the units (subjects) undertaken. The
indicative fee is a guide as to what the actual tuition fee will be, because the actual tuition fee is not calculated until enrolment is completed. To calculate the
actual course fee, you can refer to the unit (subject) fee that is listed at: curtin.edu.sg (refer to the ‘Fees’ section of the menu). (All fees listed are indicative and
subject to annual increases).
