48 units = 1 EFTSL = one year full time 6 units = 0.125 EFTSL = one course

To determine the funding received per student in an undergraduate course worth 6 units – multiply the CGS & HECS amount by 0.125

Government Coursework Funding

This is the total funding received by the Budget Unit for teaching and is to cover all expenses including electricity, cleaning, purchase of new computers and photocopiers, access to web, phone, paper, academic and general staff salaries, etc.
