How Murdoch University handles application dates
Murdoch 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. Murdoch runs semester and trimester intakes and assesses international applications as they arrive. Applicants from a number of countries must apply through an authorised agent; apply early for visa time.
