Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) ▼

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is a government subsidy that helps reduce the cost of undergraduate study at THSA.

For eligible students, the Australian Government pays part of your tuition fees, and you pay the remaining student contribution amount. This can significantly lower the overall cost of your degree.

Students in a CSP may also be able to access HECS-HELP to defer their student contribution and repay it later through the tax system once their income reaches the repayment threshold.

Balancing Postgraduate Study and Work ▼

Many postgraduate students balance their studies alongside full-time or part-time work.

Postgraduate programs are delivered through the SCU Model, which allows students to focus on one or two subjects at a time rather than studying multiple units concurrently. This study model supports working professionals by offering:

  • Short, intensive teaching periods
  • A reduced subject load per term

Class timetables, teaching formats and time commitments may vary by program and campus. Your Course Advisor can help you understand how the study model works in practice and how it may fit around your work and personal commitments.

Learn more about the SCU Model.
