As in many other universities in the country, the academic calendar at USC is divided into two semesters. But for convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. One year of studying at USC will cost local citizens a minimum of 1,900 USD. For foreigners, the tuition fee is different — from 1,840 USD per year. The university has several scholarships and student financial support programs that help students cover part of their tuition costs. The exact cost of programs and information on the availability of scholarships can be found on the website of the university.
When choosing an educational institution, it is important to be aware of additional costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.

Bachelor. In Australia, school education lasts longer than 11 years, so it is not possible to enroll in a bachelor's program immediately after school. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference with the help of one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, Foundation, etc.). The second option is to study for a year at a university in your native country.
Master. There is an opportunity to study at USC via online master's programs.
USC campus
The campus of USC is suburban. Students live in a close-knit community and enjoy the benefits of the natural environment around them. However, they also have access to urban entertainment such as shopping malls, restaurants and cinemas. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. Thanks to international exchange programs at USC, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
In Australia, you can stay for a period of 1.5 to 4 years after graduation. To do this, you must obtain a graduate visa — it allows you to work in the country without changing your visa to a work one. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
