I think more like 15k total. Usually around 5k a year (although if you start now I think it's more expensive than when I started)
haha, if only.. at the end of the three year bachelor of science, majour in zoology it would have left me with a bill of $45 000 to pay off, no joke.. its alot of money and work, to becoem a zoologist.. note me stepping down to animal attendant courses...
i didnt bother with HECS or the course as i only ever wanted to be the attendant, although the imfo and research would be fun..
