Deadlines

  1. 1 November 2026*

    Decide between a July 2027 and a February 2028 start
    Your own plan
    Details

    Not published by anyone, and the decision the rest of this page depends on. A mid-year start means applying before you have any results at all; February 2028 means eight months between your last exam and your first lecture. Not every degree admits mid-year, and the professional ones generally do not.

  2. 1 December 2026*

    Check you will meet University Entrance
    Your own plan

This is a check on your subject choices, so it has to happen while they can still change - which is why it is dated here and not when you apply.

  • You can apply for up to five programmes, in order of preference; AUT processes your first preference first.
  • Most undergraduate programmes start in both Semester 1 (February) and Semester 2 (July); a few start only at the beginning of the year.
