Commonwealth Supported Place
This course is eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place.
A Commonwealth supported place (CSP) is a place at a university or higher education provider where the government pays part of your fees. This part is a subsidy, not a loan, and you don’t have to pay it back.
This subsidy does not cover the entire cost of your study. Students must pay the rest, called the ‘student contribution amount’. The student contribution amount can be deferred to FEE-HELP if this is your preferred and approved method of tuition fee payment.
