University admission details

Admission included in application?

Round 1 for international applicants runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027, for a start between July and December 2027. The closing time is not stated. The how to apply page says the 2027 Round 1 closing date was moved forward from 31 March to 28 February. The top of the tuition scholarship page still says 31 March and 31 July, while the round list on the same page gives 28 February, so use 28 February. The RTP Fees Offset page, which still shows the older round dates, says new applicants must first get an invitation to apply from the faculty. The how to apply page does not ask for one, so check with your faculty before you apply. Admission and scholarships are one myApp application, considered for all central scholarships without choosing one. Only one application per round is allowed. Scholarship results come six to ten weeks after the round closes, and the admission assessment starts after that. Round 3 closes on 31 August and is for starts between January and June of the following year.
