If a student receives a conditional offer (e.g. conditional on completion of a master degree or honours degree), conditions must be met by 31 July 2024.

The Faculty of Science is calling for applications from domestic and international students in the priority areas of Earth and atmospheric sciences, for commencement of course and scholarship in 2024.
