Commonwealth Student Contribution, 2005-2007
The Commonwealth student contribution amount is required to be calculated for each Commonwealth supported course or unit of study that a student undertakes at a higher education institution. In 2005, there are two different rates payable depending on the commencement date of the program. DEEWR has given higher education institutions the ability to charge up to 25% more. UNSW Council has agreed that students at UNSW will pay the 25% premium but only from 2006.
The maximum student contribution amounts for students starting after 1st January 2005 are:
| Student contribution band | Maximum student contribution in 2005 | Maximum student contribution in 2006 | Maximum student contribution in 2007 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Band 3 (law, dentistry, medicine, veterinary science) | $8,004 | $8,170 | $8,333 |
| Band 2 (accounting, administration, economics, commerce, mathematics, statistics, computing, built environment, health, engineering, science, surveying, agriculture) |
$6,837 | $6,979 | $7,118 |
| Band 1 (humanities, behavioural science, social studies, foreign languages, visual and performing arts) |
$4,800 | $4,899 | $4,996 |
| National priorities(education, nursing) | $3,840 | $3,920 | $3,998 |
The maximum student contribution amounts for "differential HECS paying" students starting before 1st January 2005 are:
| Student contribution band | Maximum student contribution in 2005 | Maximum student contribution in 2006 | Maximum student contribution in 2007 |

For information about the statistics, continue reading below...
The tables that are restricted to UNSW provide an historical set of data on HECS funded load by funding cluster by Faculty/School. All tables are in similar format and provide a summary for HECS funded students by program level and funding type. The data provided in the tables is the student load in EFTSU taught by the particular faculty or school or groups of these units. To take advantage of the site's flexibility and functions these pages are best viewed using the latest versions of Netscape or Internet Explorer.
