Semester One 2027 International Undergraduate Admission

Overview

The University of Auckland's international application deadline for most Semester One 2027 (February start) undergraduate programmes is 8 December 2026, leaving enough lead time to apply for a New Zealand student visa; a small number of programmes such as Medicine, Pharmacy and Optometry close earlier. A Semester Two 2027 (July start) intake is also open for most other undergraduate programmes, closing 8 June 2027.
