You need to pay tuition fees to study at AUT. The tuition fee varies depending on your programme and the combination of papers you study.
Your exact fees will be calculated at the time of invoicing. There may also be other fees and charges you need to pay.
New international students have the option of paying either their first year of fees or pay for their entire programme of study upfront, thus avoiding any fee increases in later years.
The fees published on this website provide an estimate for the range of costs associated with full-time study, based on estimates from the paper selection of previous student enrolments within each qualification. Part-time students pay a proportion of the full-time fee.
