Cost of living while studying

Studying at Moore College can be costly and so students need to think carefully about the expenses, and plan for how they will fund their education before they apply. This is even more important for overseas students (whether single or a family).

General information

Things to be aware of:

  • Scholarships are available; however, they are competitive and will not cover all your expenses.
  • The Student Support Fund has been established to help students raise funds while they’re at College.
  • If you are an overseas student, you should not assume that you can simply work in Australia while you are here. To do so requires a specific visa that will allow you to work, and these usually limit the number of hours you may be employed. Visas must be secured before you leave your home country, and work visas take longer to secure.
  • If you are travelling with a spouse and/or family, they will also need visas and proof that they can support themselves, or be supported financially.
  • Australia is a country with a high standard of living and hence relatively high expenses for accommodation, food, travel, education, medical and incidental expenses.

Single student costs example

By way of example, a single Moore College student could expect annual costs as follows:

  • Full time undergraduate tuition fees: $21,950 (local students) or $26,400 (international students)
  • Accommodation: $15,000-$20,000
  • Groceries: $5,000-$10,000
  • Public transport (bus, train, etc.): $500-$2000
  • Car related costs (registration, insurance, petrol): $3,000-$5,000
  • Clothing: $500-$1,000
  • Health insurance: $500-$1,000
  • Utilities (phone, internet, gas, water and electricity): $1,000-$2,000
  • Incidentals (entertainment, stationery, sports, toiletries, etc.): $500-$2000
  • Additional education expenses (conferences, books, etc.): $500-$1,000

The above suggests expenses of between around $48,000 AUD and around $70,000 AUD per year. This includes the time while College is in session and while College is out of session. Note that not all of these costs will be incurred by all students.

Married student costs example

A family of 2 adults (with one Moore College student) and two preschool aged children could expect annual costs as follows:

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition fees: $21,950 (local students) or $26,400(international students)
  • Accommodation: $20,000-$25,000
  • Food:$10,000-$15,000
  • Public transport (bus, train, etc.): $500-$2000
  • Car related costs (registration, insurance, petrol): $3,000-$5,000
  • Clothing:$1,000-$2,000
  • Health insurance: $500-$5,000
  • Utilities (phone, internet, gas, water and electricity): $1,000-$2,000
  • Incidentals (entertainment, stationery, sports, toiletries, etc.): $500-$2000
  • Additional education expenses (conferences, books, etc.) $500-$1,000

The above suggests expenses of between around $58,000 AUD and around $85,000 AUD per year. This includes the time while College is in session and while College is out of session. Note that not all of these costs will be incurred by all students.

If you’re an international student with school age children, you would need to consider additional costs (e.g. primary school age children need to pay fees of $13,000 per year, per child).
