Where To Apply

Australian universities with no application fee for international students

Applying to Australian universities is cheaper than applying in the US or UK, because most of them charge international students no application fee at all when you apply directly or through an authorised agent.

That means you can put in several applications and compare your offers without spending anything upfront. A small number of universities do charge a direct-application fee, usually AUD 55 to 125, though several waive it for agent-lodged applications.

How this list was built

We list universities recorded as charging no application fee for international students. The figure reflects the standard direct-application fee; some universities that charge one waive it for applications through an authorised agent, so confirm before you apply. Third-party application platforms may add their own service fee regardless.
