2017 survey of university student finances
About
The purpose of the national survey was to understand the current financial circumstances of both domestic and international undergraduate and postgraduate students studying at Australian universities. The report compared the 2017 findings with the previous studies undertaken for Universities Australia by the Melbourne CSHE in 2012 and 2006. The findings of this study will benefit students by helping universities and government better understand students: their work patterns, income, family commitments and concerns.
Funding
This study of the financial circumstances of students at Australian Universities was undertaken in 2017 by Melbourne CSHE for Universities Australia, which funded the study. Universities Australia is the peak body for Australia’s universities.
