Fees & Finance Options
The Australian Government Job-ready Graduates (JRG) package is providing a limited number of Commonwealth Supported Places ( CSPs) for this course in 2021. It's your chance to upskill or retrain in areas of strong job growth at no cost. A Commonwealth Supported Place is a place in a course where MIT receives some funding from the Australian Government. This part is a subsidy, not a loan, and you don't have to pay it back. This means you'll only need to contribute part of your course cost-this is referred to as the Student Contribution Amount (SCA). MIT has waived the student contribution amount for this course. Therefore, it's free.
To get a CSP you must be one of the following:
- an Australian citizen, who will live and study in Australia for some of the course
- a New Zealand citizen, who will live and study in Australia for the whole course
- a permanent visa holder, who will live and study in Australia for the whole course
More information about the eligibility requirements for CSPs can be found here .
