The fees for international students beginning study in 2020 are in the tables in these pages.
International student fees are programme-based. In other words, there is a set tuition fee for the qualification that you are enrolled in. This is the fee you will pay each year for the minimum time it takes to complete your qualification.
The terms of a Student Visa require most international students to be studying at least three courses each semester. However, if you are aiming to complete your qualification in the minimum time, you may need to enrol in four courses per semester. You are strongly encouraged to discuss your enrolment with Student Administration staff, or your course advisor/supervisor.
To be eligible for domestic tuition fees, you must be either a New Zealand citizen, a New Zealand permanent resident or an Australian citizen.
If you become a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident after the last day to enrol in a semester (as stated in the Calendar), you will be required to pay the full fee applicable to your residency status at that time. If you subsequently furnish official documentation that your residency status has changed, the level of fees payable will be adjusted for subsequent semesters of study.
