2021 Postgraduate coursework degrees
If you are a Commonwealth Supported student (CSP) you will be charged the student contribution amount for your unit enrolments according to the subject area of the unit and the year that you are enrolling in.
At Macquarie, the standard full time load for all postgraduate courses is 80 credit points. This is equal to 1 EFTSL (Effective Full-time Student Load) and is used to calculate student contribution for a unit.
Some postgraduate courses are a mix of Commonwealth Supported and Domestic Fee Paying places. To determine if your course is fully CSP or a mix with limited CSP places, please see the list below. At the time of your offer, you will be advised which type of fee place you have been offered.
