How University of Queensland handles application dates
UQ does not set one international closing date. It depends on the program and on the visa assessment level of your country of citizenship, and some programs (Medicine, Dental Science, and other health courses with UCAT) close earlier. For a Semester 1 2027 (late February) start, apply around three months ahead and check the closing date on your program page.
UQ postgraduate coursework has no single international closing date; it varies by program and by the visa assessment level of your country. Check the 'How to apply' tab on your program page, and apply early to leave time for a student visa.
For a Semester 2 2027 (late July) start at UQ, apply around three months ahead. Not every program has a mid-year intake, and closing dates vary by program and country. Check your program page.
UQ postgraduate coursework mid-year closing dates vary by program and by country visa assessment level. Check the 'How to apply' tab on your program page; not every program runs in Semester 2.
