Degrees offered in Australia are the same in content, administration and parchment as in our US campus, awarded by CMU Pittsburgh, accredited in the US, with additional accreditation in Australia.

Tuition and living costs may vary between Australia and other CMU locations. Variance in out-of-pocket expenses can be attributed to the exchange rate with the Australian Dollar. In addition, CMU Australia provides significant merit-based scholarships to reduce the cost of tuition for the majority of its students.

Note:

• Tuition is charged for coursework on a per semester basis.
• Fees for 12-month tracks and 21-month tracks are payable via 3 and 4 installments respectively.
• Cost per semester can change each academic year.
• The internship semester incurs no cost.
• Deferral of admission will incur tuition fees at the prevailing rate.
