How to apply - coursework

Complete the application form

You must complete the current application form and lodge it with the relevant faculty office. In the case of international students the application should be lodged with the International Office.

If the results of your first degree will not be known by the closing date this should not deter you from submitting an application providing that you forward your results when they are known.

Closing dates

Unless there is a specific deadline stated for a particular course, an applicant within Australia must apply by no later than 10 weeks before the commencement of the next following semester:

  • 30 November for commencement at the end of February
  • 30 April for commencement in late July.

Applicants must check the closing date because many faculties have earlier or later closing dates, some allowing applications right up until classes start.

Outcome of your application

A result of your application will be a formal response sent by the faculty office. An offer of admission will usually set out details of your candidature and should be checked carefully. If you have any questions about the terms of the offer, check with the faculty office and your intended department as necessary.

If for any reason you are unable to take up an offer of admission please let both the department and the faculty office know. It may be that it is then possible for the University to offer a place to another applicant.

Unsuccessful applications and applications where an offer has been declined are not retained indefinitely and a full, fresh application should be made if you reapply in a later year.
