NHPPS3815 Physiotherapy Honours Thesis 1

This is the first of four units in which students will complete an original research project with the support of their supervisor/s. Students will select a research project from an available list and will be responsible for implementing the project over four consecutive semesters. During this unit students will meet regularly with their supervisor/s to refine the research question, complete a critical review of relevant literature and design appropriate data collection method to address their research question. Students will demonstrate their ability for independent study and manage their time and project effectively throughout this unit. Ethics may be required for some research projects, and it is expected that ethics applications will be submitted before the end of this first course. ((While supervisor/s will be primarily responsible for submitting the ethics application, students will contribute to the documentation through their literature review and proposed research methods))

Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.

The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).   

2025 student contribution amount: $1,164


2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164

* 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.

Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 

For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands, the student contribution amount is determined by the accredited course. Visit our CSP page for further information, including a list of accredited courses. Students not studying in an accredited course will pay the fees listed above. 

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
