IUPP COST BENEFITS

IUPP makes it possible to achieve your study goals and career aspirations, while gaining an internationally recognised qualification at an affordable cost.

On average, every student who studies via the International University Pathway Program saves around AU$30,000 to $40,000 on their chosen program of study.

For example, the cost of completing a three year bachelor degree in Australia would be around AU$45,000 in tuition fees, and AU$54,000 in required living expenses for the three year period.

By completing a diploma in your home country for the first year, and then continuing your studies abroad for the following two years to complete a bachelor degree qualification, you would save approximately AU$30,000. The savings can be even greater, depending on your choice of study program.

Our Educational Consultants can show you how you can optimise your resources and time, and help you tailor a program to suit your individual needs.
