Diploma in Media and Communication

All new candidates should enrol in their degree by the term start date. The start date is the first day of the term. New candidates may enrol up to one month before the term start date.

If you are unable to commence by the term start date, you may enrol by the term census date. Your candidature 'clock' starts ticking from the term start date. If you enrol after the term start date, you have effectively lost time towards completion of your degree. You cannot enrol after the census date has passed. If you are unable to enrol by the census date, you can request deferral to the following term.

If you wish to be considered for a scholarship, simply indicate this on the application form and select the scholarship round for your preferred term start date. UNSW has three scholarship application rounds per year. Applicants who are applying for a scholarship through UNSW should submit their application (and all required documentation) by the relevant deadlines. Scholarship recipients must accept or defer within 2 weeks of receiving their unconditional offers.

Higher Degree Research (HDR) applicants can request to defer for up to one year after the initial offer term. UNSW HDR Scholarship offers may be able to be deferred on a case by case basis (check your scholarship letter for details). Deferrals are only approved where conditions are met, including continuing to meet UNSW entry requirements, and availability of supervision and resources.

Whether you are a domestic or international applicant, you must meet the UNSW English language requirements before submitting an application. If you are applying for a scholarship, you must demonstrate that you meet these requirements before the scholarship deadline. You can demonstrate that you meet the requirements through one of the following: English Language Tests and University English Courses, Prior study in the medium of English, or Other qualifications.
