Indicative turnaround times for course applications made directly to the University

Your application will likely be assessed more promptly if you apply for one intake and provide all the required information at the time of application. If your application is put on hold to request missing information or documents, the turn-around times listed on this page will not apply.

The indicative turnaround times listed above will not be relevant if the course you have applied for:

  • Makes selection decisions only at set times during the year
  • Requires results of admissions test that have not yet been released (e.g. GMAT, LSAT, GAMSAT/MCAT)
  • Requires outcomes of auditions or interviews that have not yet been scheduled.
