Program load per year
oc On-campus A normal on-campus study program load per year is equal to 8 units per year during
Semesters 1 and 2. Students wishing to study additional courses in Semester 3* may apply
to do so.
Note: * Not all programs offer courses in Semester 3. Students may wish to fast-track their program by studying
extra units during this semester.
Unit A measure of the workload for a student. Students must gain a set number of units to complete a program. Most
courses are equal to 1 unit.
Estimated fee per unit USQ’s fees for international students are reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis. The revised fees apply from
February of each year. The unit tuition fee for programs with a duration longer than one year may therefore be subject
to an increase dependent on the new revised annual fees following 2010.
The estimated fee per course may also vary, dependent on the student’s pattern of enrolment. For instance, a student
may choose to enrol in electives or core courses offered by a different faculty with a different unit price the courses
offered by their own faculty.
Estimated total program tuition fee To establish the approximate cost of an entire program, you can multiply the fees per course by the total number of
units required to complete the program. For details on unit fee per course, please refer to the following web address:
