🎓 Did you know some postgraduate university courses in Australia are Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs)—meaning the government subsidises part of your tuition fees, potentially saving you thousands?
Using a mix of web scraping and GenAI, I’ve compiled a dataset of nearly 2,000 postgraduate courses in Australia currently offering CSPs.
🔍 Each entry includes:
- Course description
- Duration
- Direct link to the official course page
- Estimated field of education classification (broad, narrow, and detailed levels using the ASCED framework)
💡 Important note: A course offering a CSP doesn’t guarantee you’ll get one. You’ll need to meet the course’s entry requirements, and places are offered on merit. Eligibility also depends on your citizenship or residency status.

Footnotes
- This list was heavily assisted by GenAI, so please use it with care and confirm details with official sources.
- The Field of Education has been estimated using GenAI and personal judgement. While broad classifications are generally reliable, users are advised to treat narrow and detailed levels with caution.
- There is no available information about CSP courses at Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education.
- CSPs are available at University of Divinity for students only from disadvantaged backgrounds.
- The University of Melbourne and University of Canberra assign CSP on a subject basis rather than on a course basis. Hence, to calculate costs of a course, you need to add individual subjects.
- Bond University is private, not-for-profit, university and hence not eligible for CSP.
- Each university is listed according to the location of their primary campus (some universities operate in multiple states).
