What about the costs of study?
All CSU undergraduate courses are supported by the Commonwealth government, which means you can defer your university fees through a HECS-HELP loan. For pathway programs, the CSU component is Commonwealth government supported. For the TAFE component of the program, the standard TAFE NSW fees apply.
