Alumni Tuition Fee Discount
15% tuition fee discount
At the University of Adelaide, we value our students and recognise their passion for lifelong learning. To inspire continuing academic endeavours, we are delighted to offer alumni a 15% discount on tuition fees in an eligible postgraduate award program for commencements in 2024 (some exclusions apply, see below for details).
The 15% fee discount will be applied to tuition fees upon enrolment, subject to eligibility.
This tuition fee discount is only available to domestic University of Adelaide alumni who commence an eligible postgraduate Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) award program in 2024. The alumni discount is not transferable and not redeemable for cash or any other benefit.
