How University of Newcastle handles application dates
University of Newcastle 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. The University of Newcastle recommends submitting your international application at least 12 weeks before your semester or trimester start. Late applications may be held for the next available intake, and some programs (psychology, the Joint Medical Program) have their own dates.
