A LAW DEGREE WITH A CONSCIENCE

The legal profession is changing. Employers are looking for new skills and a new
kind of law graduate.

At Western we teach you how new technologies relate to legal practice, how to
work in teams to produce great results for clients, how justice requires both
passion and excellence, and how to communicate professionally with legal
stakeholders. We provide you with opportunities to hone your skills through
practical experiences in every subject you study, plus internships, placements,
and clinics. We bring the legal profession into the classroom, so you get to
work with international human rights lawyers, family law experts, criminal
barristers, and commercial litigators.

We know that people learn in different ways, that flexibility is important, and
that our students are people not numbers.

Law is a degree that can take you anywhere. Take that journey with us.

INDICATIVE ANNUAL FEE

Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP)

AUD $36,336*

UG Direct

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP)
Opens in new window
is one that is subsidised by the Commonwealth and applicable only to Domestic
students. This means that the Australian Government pays part of your fees
towards your program, therefore reducing your program fees, and the remaining
amount is paid by you, this is considered your Student Contribution.

*Fee Disclaimer

The fee estimates provided are indicative only and subject to change. These
estimates are based on the current fee structures for a normal full time study
load. However, the final fees may vary depending on several factors, including
the specific subjects chosen, the duration and timing of study, and annual fee
adjustments (subject to Commonwealth student contribution band rates). Please
note that these estimates do not include the Student Services and Amenities Fee.
We encourage all prospective and current students to consult with our Student

other locations as necessary.

How can I work out my student contribution?

To work out how much your Student Contribution will be before you study, you
will first need to find out the Student Contribution band your subjects fit into
based on their general discipline area.

You can then calculate your student contributions
Opens in new window
to work out the total amount of your contribution.

Find out about the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP)

The Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) is a range of loans introduced by the
Australian Government from 2005 to provide fee payment assistance to eligible
students. Loans are for Australian citizens studying in Australia or overseas.
Permanent residents who hold a humanitarian visa are also eligible if studying
in Australia.

If eligible you may be able to defer all or part of your Student Contribution
through the HECS-HELP loan program. You may also be eligible for OS-HELP if
undertaking studies overseas.

New Zealand citizens and holders of an Australian permanent resident visa (other
than an Australian permanent humanitarian visa) are generally not entitled to
HECS-HELP assistance. If you are a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident
your Student Contribution amount must be paid in full by the census date.

However, the Australian Government has passed new legislation that changes the
way some New Zealand citizens, who hold a Special Category Visa (SCV), studying
in Australia will pay their fees. More information is available on the Changes
to fees for New Zealand Citizens
