If you're studying in Australia, you can get Spotify Premium Student for around $6.99/month instead of $13.99 — that's half price, plus a free trial. It also bundles Hulu (US only) and used to include Showtime — but in Australia, the perk is mainly the price drop.

Who Qualifies in Australia?

You're eligible if you're:

• Enrolled at a Title IV accredited university (most CRICOS-registered Australian universities qualify)
• Over 18
• Studying for a degree or diploma (not short English courses)

Both domestic and international students at Australian universities can sign up — your visa status doesn't matter, only your enrolment.

Step-by-Step Sign-Up

1. Go to spotify.com/au/student
2. Click Try free for 1 month
3. Sign in with your Spotify account (or create one)
4. Verify through SheerID — Spotify's verification partner
5. Enter your university name and your student email (the @student.unsw.edu.au, @student.unimelb.edu.au type)
6. Wait 1–7 days for verification
7. Once approved, you'll be charged $6.99/month after the free trial

Which Australian Universities Are Supported?

SheerID covers all Group of Eight (Go8) universities, plus most public CRICOS providers:

What If My University Isn't Listed?

You can submit a document upload to SheerID:

• A recent enrolment letter (CoE works)
• Or your student ID + a transcript

Documents must show your name, the university name, and the current academic year.

Renewal — You Must Reverify Each Year

Spotify Premium Student is good for up to 4 years total (one year at a time). Each year, SheerID emails you to reverify. Miss the email and you'll be downgraded to the $13.99 plan automatically.

Smart Combos for International Students

• Stack with YouTube Premium Student ($11.99) for ad-free YouTube + Music
• Pair with UNiDAYS for Apple Music, Adobe, and ASOS discounts
• If you live in a sharehouse, Spotify Family Premium ($21.99/month for 6 people) often works out cheaper than 6 individual student plans
