Hi, sana may makapansin ulit ng post ko. Is there a difference sa payment for University fees for PR, foreigners and citizen?
International student gets higher rate right? Same din ba pag PR ka?
Hi! I've been researching about this kasi I'm eyeing to take my masters after moving to AU. PRs and citizens are considered domestic students and tuition fees are significantly lower compared to international students (non-PR and foreign citizens).
Also, as PR, you can avail CSP which is subject to availability in your chosen program and institution. CSP or Commonwealth Supported Place is a slot or a place in a university/institution where your tuition is partially subsidized by the government. In this case, you'll have to pay an even smaller amount for the tuition once you get the slot. You can avail CSP for 7 study years. So if taking up masters which is normally 2 years ang lenght, you would have 5 more years to use up should you want to pursue further studies.
All these are just the product of my research - anyone with experience is welcome to challenge 🙂
Hello this is very informative. Would you know din po what is the estimated average tuition fee for a 2 year master's degree in AU under CSP? I remembered my cousins who are born in AU availed student loans for their bachelor's degree. I'm thinking din po kasi if continue ko yung degree ko in the PH or sa AU when I get the PR. Currently estimate ko for my degree is 6,000 AUD. Thanks
Depende raw sa program and sa university/institution. In one of the programs I was looking at, ganto pricing nila
International Student - 48k annually
Domestic Student- 38k annually
Domestic in CSP - about 9k annually
Also, CSP is not a loan, it's a subsidy. A huge one actually. Iba pa tawag sa student loan but that's for citizens na.
Continuing this thread because I wanna share this information.
So if you are undertaking self-education (masters or other degree) that are:
Self-education has a sufficient connection to earning your employment income if it either:
maintains or improves the specific skills or knowledge you require for your current employment activities
results in, or is likely to result in, an increase in your income from your current employment activities.
Then you can likely claim tax deductions on your self-education expenses. Things like laptop, printer and cartridges, desk and chair, internet and even transpo costs.
If you are interested in this explore it more using this ATO link:

The main caveat with this though is you cannot claim the tuition fees if you paid with CSP up front tuition fee. Also, must be directly related sa current work mo.
And you must be employed ofc since tax deduction sya.
