Application deadlines

Applying for entry to Murdoch couldn’t be easier – you can now apply online! Applications for nearly all courses we offer can be completed online.

Undergraduate courses

Applications for undergraduate or honours degrees can be made for commencement in either the Semester 1 or Semester 2 teaching periods.

There are no formal deadlines for undergraduate applications, though students should be aware that they will need to allow time to process their student visa and make all of the other necessary arrangements prior to coming to Perth to commence their studies. Therefore, it is recommended that applications be made at least 2 - 3 months prior to any given intake.

  • 31 March
