The major programs include:

Australian Development Scholarships (ADS)The University of Queensland administers scholarships for the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) which allows people from developing countries to study in Australia, gaining knowledge and skills which will help the development of their home country.

ADS students enjoy support services offered to all international students as well as:– additional assistance from AusAID Student

Contact Officers– a special AusAID Introductory Academic

Program (IAP) prior to the International Student Orientation, and

– additional supplementary support may be available as recommended by academic staff.

Australian Leadership Awards (ALA)The University of Queensland is one of the participating institutions in the Australian Leadership Awards (ALA) program. This is a new award under which the Australian Government offers scholarships and fellowships for current and future leaders from the Asia Pacific region. ALAs are awarded to people who are already leaders or have a potential to assume leadership roles that can influence social and economic policy reform and development outcomes, both in their own countries and in the Asia Pacific region. The awards provide scholarships for longer-term postgraduate study at masters or doctoral level and fellowships for short-term research, study or professional attachments. Like ADS students, ALA scholarship holders also enjoy extra support services provided by designated Student Contact Officers.

StatUtorY EXPEnSESThe Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) may require evidence that applicants for a student visa have sufficient funds to complete their studies.

Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC)www.immi.gov.au

Expenses to be considered include visa and medical (pre-departure) fees (see page 107), tuition fees (see pages 98-102), general living expenses, return airfares, and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).

A summary of estimated expenses (excluding UQ tuition fees) is shown in the Expenses guide table (see page 96).

GEnEral EXPEnSESBrisbane rates well on cost of living indexes for Australian cities (see table on page 6).

The cost of living will vary according to an individual student’s lifestyle and requirements. As a guide, a student living in shared accommodation off-campus would pay approximately AUD$17,000 a year for rent, food, and utilities. Students will also need to consider establishment costs (approximately AUD$3590 for a student living off-campus) when setting up their accommodation, and additional living expenses such as public transport, entertainment, telephone costs, textbooks, photocopying and clothing.

Students should refer to the Expenses guide on page 96 to determine which costs they should consider.

Personal access to a computer and the Internet is highly recommended for all students and, in most programs, is required. While computers are available on campus, students are advised to bring a computer with them or to purchase or hire a computer in Australia. Wireless laptop connections are available on all campuses. UQ provides basic access to the Internet for study purposes, and students whose Internet use is high may purchase ‘top up’ access for a reasonable cost.

For students who wish to purchase a car, costs can vary from AUD$5000 to AUD$25,000 or more and running costs after purchase price are about AUD$100 per week. It is strongly recommended that students use public transport.

Allowances should also be made for recreation, for emergencies and for health expenses not covered by OSHC. Exchange rate variations may also affect budgeting.

StUDEntS SUPPortinG DEPEnDantSA student bringing a spouse and/or children to Australia will need to have enough money to support them before the Australian Government will issue a visa (see page 96).

A comprehensive explanation about family and spouse issues can be found in the Student Services booklet Families of International Students, available at www.uq.edu.au/student-services (International Student Support), or by email from [email protected].

Further information is also available on the DIAC website at www.immi.gov.au

Childcare costsChildcare costs in Australia are very high.

It is important that students contact childcare centres directly for fee information before arrival (see page 22).

School tuition fees for childrenDIAC requires dependant children between the ages of five and 18 to attend school full-time as a condition of the dependant visa. International fee-paying students must pay school tuition fees for school-aged children.

In 2009, the annual fees at Queensland Government schools were as follows:

Note that application fees may apply for entry into schools in Queensland.

In the state of Queensland, all state schools offer an optional Prep Year in place of a pre-school year (see http://education.qld.gov.au/studentservices/inclusive/prep/).

The process of enrolling children in schools is different in each State in Australia. In Queensland, it is not possible to enrol a child in school until he or she has arrived in the State.

Upon applying to The University of Queensland, students are provided with more information about how to organise a child’s Certificate of Enrolment, which can be used to apply for the child’s dependant visa and later to enrol the child in a school.

General information about the process of arranging schooling for children of international students is available at www.eqi.com.au/programs/dependant-student.html

Students who have received scholarships from their home governments may be exempt from paying school tuition fees for their children. These students should contact the Administrative Officer – International Scholarships in UQ International before applying for a dependant visa to inquire about whether their particular scholarship entitles them to an exemption from school tuition fees, and for assistance with this process. The website above outlines any costs that are additional to tuition fees. These extra costs total a minimum of $1200 per child per school year. The additional costs are not waived and are paid by parents directly to the school.

EmPloYmEnt oPtionSInternational students and dependants in Australia on student dependant visas who are residing in Australia and who wish to work, must have a student visa that includes permission to work.

Initial student visas and dependent student visas all include ‘work rights’. If for any reason, the student visa is issued without the right to work, a permission to work student visa will need to be applied for after commencing classes. A Tax File Number is also needed before undertaking work.

More information about applying for the student visa with permission to work, the Tax File Number, and obtaining part-time work while studying, will be given during Orientation week. Information about dependants working will be covered in the Families of International Students session during Orientation week.

In general, students should not expect to cover tuition fees or living expenses from casual work. Holders of a student visa with work rights can work up to 20 hours per week while their University program is in session, and full-time when their academic program is not in session. Students studying at UQ on a scholarship should contact their scholarship provider regarding the number of hours they are permitted to work each week.

Part-time work can be difficult to find and there is strong competition. An Employment Officer at UQ St Lucia can help students look for part-time work, most of which is non-professional, such as waiting on tables, cleaning or sales.

tUition FEESTuition fees help the University fund the world-class resources, facilities and staff necessary for your particular program.

elective courses that may be available in other programs. As not all courses are charged at the same rate, an individual student’s tuition fees will vary to reflect this flexibility.

As charges will be levied according to a student’s exact enrolment in any given semester, and tuition fees are indexed each year, it is not possible to publish a fixed annual fee. To assist students to understand their likely tuition fee costs, the table on the following pages include the indicative fee for the first year of the program. By multiplying the fee by the duration

(semesters) of the program, an estimate of the total cost of the program may be obtained.

The fees listed on pages 98-101 are calculated on charges for students commencing study in 2011. The University will review fees annually and the new annual fees will apply to all students.
