Are Midland fees different from Bentley?

No—the course sets your tuition. Midland is a teaching location for health simulation/clinical; the fees you saw on the Bentley course guide still apply.

Where do international students get “the number” to pay?

On the course guide and Fee Calculator first; the Letter of Offer then confirms the upfront amount for acceptance.

Can fees change after I start?

Your year-of-entry schedule is defined in your offer, but Curtin notes annual increases (HDR guides show up to 8% possible). Always read your offer conditions.

Curtin University Fees 2025 | Costs for International & Domestic Students

Here’s a clean view of curtin university fees by campus and study level. We’ve listed real figures where Curtin publishes them. Use the Student Fee Calculator for exact totals by unit mix and intake that guides to lock your plan.

How Curtin sets tuition fee

Indicative first-year fees on course guides assume a 200 credit-point load; some courses run >200 credits in year 1, so totals move.
Domestic places are either Commonwealth Supported (CSP) with a student contribution (many undergrad courses) or Domestic Fee-Paying (DFP) (common in postgrad coursework).
International fees are course-based; the offer letter shows a first-semester estimate, and yearly fees can rise (Curtin flags up to 8% for some HDR listings). Use the Fee Calculator for your year and course.
Don’t forget incidental costs (e.g., lab gear, clinical checks) and SSAF (see Curtin’s calculators for both).

SSAF: annual student services fee; Curtin provides a calculator.
Incidental fees: course-specific extras such as lab coats, clinical checks, field gear; see Curtin’s 2025 schedule.

Curtin University Funding and timing tips (so you don’t overpay)

Domestic CSP vs DFP: many undergrad places are CSP, but a number of postgrad programs are DFP with FEE-HELP available if eligible.
International: your Letter of Offer lists the deposit and first-semester figures; fees are course-based and consistent by year for your cohort, but can change each new year’s intake.
Load planning: keep your credit points to the standard 200 per year unless your course requires more in first year; “overloading” adds cost.
