Reduce your fees by more than 60%

QUT has introduced Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) for 10 in-demand IT, cyber security, data analytics and business process management courses, allowing you to save more than 60% on tuition fees.

Here are four things you need to know about this subsidy and what postgraduate IT, cybersecurity and data analytics courses have CSPs at QUT, to help you make informed decisions about your higher education.

1. What is CSP?

A CSP is a higher education place that the Federal government partially subsidises. The subsidy is not a loan, and you don't have to pay it back. This means you pay much less for your course than a full-fee-paying student. The amount you pay depends on the course you choose and your citizenship status. To be eligible for a CSP, you must satisfy one of these residency requirements.

2. What's new in 2023?

We now offer CSPs in 10 of our postgraduate IT-related courses. These courses are all in high-demand careers like Business Analysis, Computer Science, Cyber Security, and Data Analytics. In the past, CSPs haven’t always extended to postgraduate courses, so this is a great reason to get moving on your goal to do further study.

3. How much can I save?

Studying one of our postgraduate CSP courses can reduce the cost of your fees by more than 60%. This is great news for professionals looking to boost their careers or current undergraduate students keen to do a deep dive with a graduate certificate or master's degree. You can select from a range of graduate certificates, graduate diplomas and master's degrees.
