Postgraduate Domestic and International tuition fees for 2008 and 2009

These fees reflect a standard full-time year of study, which is equivalent to *48 credit points for the Monash Juris Doctor, masters and graduate diplomas, and 24 credit points for graduate certificates. If you enrol in less than full-time study, your fees will reflect the reduction in your enrolment, and an increase in your enrolled credit points will reflect an increase in your overall fees.
