Tuition fees
For single subject study (CAP), you pay a tuition fee for each subject that you enrol in.
Your fees will vary depending on your enrolment (assessed or non-assessed mode), the subjects you choose (undergraduate or graduate, the area of study and discipline), as well as the study load (or credit point value) of each subject.
Tuition fee payments are usually made before you commence your study.
As a guide, the tables at www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/admissions/fees/single-subject-study show the fees in 2012 for a standard single undergraduate subject (12.5 credit points) according to discipline. Details of the EFTSL (Equivalent Full-Time Study Load) (or credit point value) and discipline of every subject at the University are available from the Subject Fee Calculator at fee.acs.unimelb.edu.au

Bridging program for overseas-trained professionals
If you are an overseas-trained professional, you can undertake a bridging program to meet the requirements for entry to your profession in Australia. You should enrol in a bridging program rather than CAP for this purpose. Please contact the relevant faculty or graduate school staff.
Note: Students undertaking approved bridging study for overseas-trained professionals who hold an Assessment Statement may be eligible for FEE-HELP. For details, see: www.goingtouni.gov.au
