HCNUR6021 GUIDED INDEPENDENT STUDY

This is a self-directed learning course designed to allow individual students to explore topics of particular interest to them. Topics may be chosen in collaboration with relevant course lecturers, the graduate-year coordinator, colleagues and health industry organizations. Students will be expected to identify their own learning needs and, in regular consultation with nominated staff members, develop, implement and evaluate learning programs that will enable them to meet those needs and the course and/or/course objectives. On completion of this course each student will have written a literature review that can forms part of the final course thesis or study project.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
