Admission to a Postgraduate Program

USP is happy to receive applications from international students who would like to enrol for a postgraduate program.  Like all other applicants your application will be considered by the Postgraduate Committee in the faculty for which you are applying.  Your eligibility to be admitted will be assessed on the basis of your academic performance in your undergraduate degree(s).  In addition, to ensure you have the English Language skills necessary to be successful in tertiary studies at USP, you are required to provide evidence about your English Language competence.  You must show that your secondary schooling or some of your tertiary education was conducted in the English language, or that you have passed the IELTS or TOEFL examinations.

You are required to submit a hard copy of the Application for Admission to a Postgraduate Program form along with the relevant certified documents. Before you submit your form, please check that:

• you meet the admission requirements for your chosen program,
• you have included all the certified documentary evidence required to support your application,
• you have indicated an email contact address so that you can be advised promptly of information relating to your enrolment

Successful applicants will be advised in writing, and at that time will be sent the necessary forms and information about applying for a Student Permit. 

Forms are due on the following dates each year:

• 30 November for Semester I
• 31 May for Semester II

No applications are accepted from international students after those dates, because of the time it takes to process successful applicants' Student Permits.
