Application & fee information
for postgraduate research students.
Admission
Applications for admission to UNSW as a graduate student are accepted all year round. There are no cut-off dates for students applying for entry to research degrees (MSc or PhD), but there are strict closing dates for scholarship applications.
We recommend that you find a potential supervisor at the School before submitting your application. For information about the research programs available, please refer to the School's Research page. Alternatively, you can contact the Director of Postgraduate Studies (Research).
The application for entry to a research degree (MSc or PhD) requires an outline of your research topic. Please contact the Postgraduate Research Coordinator if you need assistance with this part of the form.
