How to calculate fees
Below is an example for a 6 uoc course in Band 1.
| Course units of credit | EFTSL in units of credit | student contribution band charge | Charge per course |
| 6 ÷ | 48 × | $6,566 = | $820 |
You can find the units of credit per course in the UNSW Handbook. The EFTSL at UNSW is currently always 48.
