Varies by program
The supplied sources do not establish complete university-wide domestic or international tuition ranges. Selected online pages publish indicative full-programme fees rather than a consistent annual fee; the MBA also publishes a quarterly amount. Those pages state that fees include 15% GST but exclude the Student Services Fee, books, travel and health insurance, and living costs. Fees are confirmed upon course enrolment. MBA in-person intensives and international study-tour travel incur additional costs. Do not treat these selected programme amounts as university-wide annual tuition bounds.
Tuition varies by program. Confirm with the university before applying.
