The University of Canterbury has two main intakes annually: Semester 1 (February) and Semester 2 (July). Application deadlines typically fall several months prior to the start date. For Semester 1, international students should apply by December 1, while domestic students have until January 10. For Semester 2, international applications close on May 1, and domestic deadlines extend to June 1.
Some programs may have specific deadlines or limited enrollment, so verifying details on the university’s official website is advisable. Late applications are occasionally considered if spaces remain, but early submission is recommended to secure admission and accommodation.
