Curtin University application fee

How Curtin University handles application dates
Curtin University assesses international applications on a rolling basis rather than to one fixed deadline. The date shown is a recommended time to apply for your intended intake, roughly three to four months before it starts. Applications are usually still accepted after it while places remain and there is time for a student visa. Curtin closes international applications 10 weeks before the start date for applicants from higher visa-scrutiny countries and 4 weeks before for everyone else (2 weeks if you already hold a subclass 500 visa in Australia). Quota courses in health close earlier, and an offer is not guaranteed close to the deadline.

Curtin University scholarship deadlines
- Curtin Global Merit Scholarship · 20% tuition fee reduction for the duration of the course · no fixed closing date
These dates are for international applicants. Domestic dates, and the exact date for a specific course, can differ. Always confirm on Curtin 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.
