Adelaide University application deadlines 2027
Adelaide University assesses international applications on a rolling basis rather than to a single fixed date. For a 2027 start, apply as early as you can, and no later than about three months before your intake, to leave time for the offer, Confirmation of Enrolment, and student visa.
How Adelaide University handles application dates
Adelaide University does not set a fixed international deadline. It asks you to apply at least six weeks before the intake starts (roughly mid-January for a Semester 1 2027 start); later applications are assessed case by case and may roll to the next intake. Some programs have early closing dates. As a newly merged university (from 2026), confirm current dates and fees directly.
Adelaide University asks international postgraduate coursework applicants to apply at least six weeks before the Semester 1 start; there is no fixed deadline and some programs close early. As a newly merged university, confirm current dates and fees directly.

These dates are for international applicants. Domestic dates, and the exact date for a specific course, can differ. Always confirm on Adelaide University’s own website before you rely on a date.
Once you have an offer, you accept it, pay the deposit, and receive a Confirmation of Enrolment, then you apply for the subclass 500 student visa. Build that time into your plan: from some countries the visa alone takes one to three months.
Adelaide University deadlines: common questions
When is the Adelaide University application deadline for international students?
Adelaide University assesses international applications on a rolling basis rather than to a single fixed date. For a 2027 start, apply as early as you can, and no later than about three months before your intake, to leave time for the offer, Confirmation of Enrolment, and student visa.
Can I apply to Adelaide University after the deadline?
Often, yes. Australian universities rarely enforce a single hard cut-off. If places remain in your course and there is enough time to arrange a student visa before the intake starts, a late application is usually still considered. Competitive and quota courses (medicine, some design and health programs) are the exception and do close firmly.
What intakes does Adelaide University have?
Adelaide University takes international students for 2 intakes: Semester 1 and Semester 2. Not every course is available in every intake, so check the course page.
How early should I apply to Adelaide University?
Three to four months before your intended intake is the usual advice, and earlier for competitive courses or if you are from a country where the student visa takes longer to process. Applying early also means an earlier offer, which helps with scholarships and accommodation.
