How Holmes Institute handles application dates
Holmes Institute 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. Postgraduate coursework and professional programs (medicine, law, some design and business) often close earlier, so check the date for your specific course.
