Do students stay and finish?
Source: Dept of Education, 2024Of students who started at Flinders in 2016, nine years later:
- Finished a degree
- 65.6%
- Still studying
- 4.9%
- Left after returning
- 19.3%
- Never came back after first year
- 10.1%
More recently: of new Flinders bachelor students in 2023, 18.5% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.
Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching. What completion rates tell you
What it costs, next to what graduates earn
Total student contribution:3 years × $18,025/year ≈ $54,100Estimate
Fees are charged by study load, so a faster degree usually costs about the same.
The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – Flinders did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront. How HECS-HELP works
