Torrens states that international students must not enrol in more than one-third of their course as online subjects and must study at least one face-to-face subject each trimester, unless they are approved offshore online students. Also, students must enroll as full-time student to meet the student visa requirements.  

Torrens University Tuition Fees

Tuition fees depend on the course, study level, campus, selected subjects and annual study load. Torrens publishes an official international fee schedule and notes that all fees are indicative, subject to change and may vary according to the student’s enrolled subjects in each study period. 

As examples from the 2026 International Student Fee Schedule, many undergraduate business courses list an indicative 2026 annual fee of AUD $31,600, while several postgraduate business courses list indicative annual fees around AUD $36,000.
