Tuition Fee Costs
Prospective students can find the cost of tuition fees for the first year of study by referring to the fees and funding section on our course pages.
Tuition fees
Tuition fees will normally be charged for a full academic year and include the costs of:
- registration
- tuition (or supervision)
- library access
- examination
- re-examination
- graduation
Fees are reviewed on an annual basis and can increase per academic year.
The tuition fee you pay in your first year will be the same for each year of your course (if the course is longer than one year). This is only applicable if you stay on the same course.
If you withdraw from your studies and your last date of registration is within the first 14 days of the academic year, you will not be charged tuition fees for the academic year.
Withdrawal from study at the University
The amount of any tuition fees refunded is dependent on the date of withdrawal from the course of study.
After the first 2 weeks from the start date of the first semester, if a student withdraws at any time within the first semester of the first academic year of a programme, no refund will be made for the first semester fees.
For withdrawal from semester two of the first academic year onwards, tuition fees are charged on a weekly basis up to the date of withdrawal from the programme.
When withdrawing or suspending, students will be charged pro rata based on the number of weeks in attendance depending on how the University calendar falls.
A tuition fee discount or scholarship has been applied following payment
2% early payment discount refunds
The Finance team will not process any 2% early payment discount refunds until November. If you are due a 2% EPD refund and have not heard from us after December, please contact numed-finance@newcastle.edu.my.
Refundable deposits
Deposits are strictly non-refundable except for the specific circumstances set out in the offer letter only.
In the event a deposit refund is approved, the University will retain an administration fee from the deposit paid, based on the table below:
| Administrative Fee | Malaysian Student | International Student |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Enrolment | RM 1,000 | RM 1,000 |
| Post-Enrolment | RM 2,000 | RM 3,000 |
Please note that Visa fees are refundable for unused amount only.
A refund will only be offered in these circumstances if the Finance team has received the correct internal paperwork to adjust the tuition fee account. You will not be eligible for a refund if:
- you have an outstanding balance on your account
- your payment was for a non-refundable tuition fee deposit
Full details of the refund process can be found in the Tuition Fee Refund Policy.
We do not routinely process refunds between September and October as the Finance team processes a high volume of tuition fee payments during this period.
