The course I do (MSc in Astronomy) at JCU costs me a bit over $2500 per semester, but I get help to pay that. I think the Swinburne course is about the same. As far as being maths heavy, it depends on the subject you're doing at the time, but you can expect a reasonable dose of maths in all the subjects. However, if you don't want to do the masters course, you can do a graduate certificate or graduate diploma in Astronomy. In all cases though, you need to have a previous degree in a physical science to do the courses (or approval of the Dean for others), or a BEd for the Astronomy Education higher degree (both Masters and PhD).
