Tuition fees 2011 for undergraduate students (international)
The fees listed in the table below are for international students for the 2011 academic year.
The University of Auckland charges tuition fees on the basis of your course enrolment rather than by programme. The fees for courses vary from faculty to faculty and sometimes within a faculty. If a particular course requires a greater share of The University's resources in terms of teaching or equipment, these courses may be charged at more than the standard rate for a particular faculty.
The table below lists the estimated tuition fees for undergraduate programmes for international students for 2011. In addition, you are required to pay a building levy and a student services fee. These too are calculated on a per point basis. The Building Levy for 2011 is $0.66 per point (GST inclusive) while the student services fee is $4.84 per point (GST inclusive).
The per-year tuition fees set out below are indicative only and are based on a standard full-time study load of 120 points per year, assuming that all your points are taken within the faculty that teaches this degree.
