Tuition Fees

Eastern College Australia is committed to making quality education with a Christian worldview as accessible as possible. Overseas student prices can be seen in the fee schedule here.

Am I eligible to study at Eastern?

Entry requirements for your chosen course must be met. Qualifications from non-Australian institutes will be assessed to determine their Australian equivalence by Australian Government qualification assessment information.
Language Requirements

If English is not your first language you are required to demonstrate sufficient ability to study an Australian Higher Education award. To assess your language capacity, Eastern requires an IELTS Academic Version Test which can be taken from most locations in the world. We also accept TOFEL and Pearson tests.

To locate an assessor near your location, visit their websites to book and sit this test. You will need to provide us with a copy of your English test, preferably with your application to study at Eastern College Australia.

If you are applying from overseas and require an English test to be completed, we cannot accept you as a student until we have this test in hand. You will not be eligible to apply for a student visa until you are accepted as a student.

Please refer to the English Language requirements of each course for the level of English Language proficiency required.

Language Test Exemption
If you have undertaken an accredited award in English from one of the prescribed countries, or have been a resident in Australia for at least 10 years where English is the main language used at home and in your workplace, you may not need to undertake the English test. Please confirm this with Eastern.
