The consequences of the Coalition’s job ready graduate scheme mean the costs of some courses have ballooned up to 140% over the past five years

Data released by the Department of Education earlier this month shows fees for law, accounting, administration, economics, commerce, communications and society and culture degrees will jump to $16,323 a year from 2024.
