The PhD Application, Scholarship and Admission Process
Application closing dates
You may submit an application at any time, but applications will only be considered three times each year.
The three application deadlines are 1 March, 1 July and 1 November.
Complete applications must be received by 5.00pm (NZ time) on the deadline of the application round for which you are applying. If your application or any required documentation arrives after one of these cut-off points, your application will be considered in the following application round.
Note that the International Institute of Modern Letters has one deadline a year.
How to apply
Applications for admission as a PhD student and for Victoria Doctoral Scholarships should be made online.
Before you begin:
To use PDF fillable forms you will need to have an up-to-date version of Acrobat Reader. If you do not have an up-to-date version, you can use the Word document version of the form instead.
Note:
- that Victoria does not admit students to undertake PhD study by distance
- that you will need to have suitable qualifications before you can be accepted as a PhD student.
