Application Deadlines
When to apply for Semester 1 and Semester 2 intake.
UPNG admits in two intakes a year. Applications are assessed as they arrive, so applying early — well before the closing date — gives you the best chance at your first choice of programme and, where relevant, a place in residence.
Key Dates
| Intake | Opens | Closes | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semester 1, 2026 | Aug. 1, 2025 | Nov. 30, 2025 | Closed |
| Semester 2, 2026 | March 2, 2026 | May 29, 2026 | Open |
Late applications are considered only where places remain in a programme after the closing date, and are not guaranteed. International applicants should apply well ahead of the closing date to leave time for visa processing. Scholarship and TESAS applications generally follow the same intake dates but may close earlier — check with the awarding body.
