CQU announced last week that if the feds will not subsidise students in its contemplated medical degree the university could prescribe full fees (CMM March 12) instead. But would people pay big dollars to study at Rockhampton? That depends how big the dollars are. With UniMelbourne charging $282k for a full fee medicine degree and Macquarie U $256 000 (for local students) if CQU could keep its costs down it might be able to create a price advantage.
