How to Apply

Competitive Selection (Academic Merit)

In cases where students are required to submit additional documentation for selection (e.g. essay, statement of intent, expression of interest, portfolio), these documents should be submitted either to the subject coordinator or via the link on the subject handbook page. Please refer to the relevant University Handbook subject entry for more information.
