WAAPA moving to ECU City

This university campus will transform the city and redefine higher education in WA, blending technology, industry and creativity. 

How much will your degree cost

All universities, even Notre Dame, charge the same for their degrees. 

Degrees will cost a different amount depending on how many years you need to study and how much the Commonwealth Government subsidises your degree. 

UWA has the best Fee Calculator that I have found. When using the calculator, you need to say:

• If you are a domestic or international student. 

• That you will be enrolling in an undergraduate degree.

• You will be in a Commonwealth Supported Place. 

• Costs are not yet available for 2026, but the 2025 figures are a good indicator. 

To do your own calculations:

1. Go to the UWA Fees Calculator

2. From the drop-down menu select Undergraduate

3. Choose which course you would like to study.

4. Scroll down to I want to price my units

5. Select units you want to study. 

6. A table will come up showing how many points each unit is worth and how much it will cost. 

7. When you have chosen 48 points worth of units for the year it will calculate your total cost for the year as a full-time student.
