Programme and course limitations selection criteria

Limitations Schedule 2026

This Schedule is made under the provisions of Regulation 3 of the Limitation of Entry Statute 1991.

Limited-entry Programmes and Courses

Because of insufficient accommodation and restrictions on staffing there will be a limitation on the number of students who can be enrolled in 2026 in the programmes and courses listed below.

Approved Limitations

1 Students must apply for a place in any limited entry programme. Unless otherwise specified in Closing Dates for Admission, the closing date for Application for Admission is 8 December 2025 and for Enrolment is 25 February 2026. The closing date for Admission to Summer School is 1 December 2025 and for Enrolment is 1 January 2026.

2 Application for places in any limited-entry programmes and/or courses will be made online or in person.

3 Applications received after the specified closing dates will be given reduced priority in consideration for a place in a limited-entry programme and/or course.

4 Where the number of applicants for a place in a limited-entry programme or course exceeds the approved number of available places, the faculty or department concerned will select students in accordance with criteria that have been approved by the University Council.

5 Where a course is taught in both semesters, the Selection Committee will allocate students to Semester One or Semester Two where numbers of applications for one semester exceed places available.

6 Selection criteria will be available from the faculty or department concerned for the information of students. In general, selection will be based upon academic merit. In those cases where the scholastic record is insufficient, e.g., Discretionary Entrance and Special Admission, other criteria such as the recommendation of the School Principal or Adviser, or employment history, will be taken into account. Account will also be taken of the University’s Equal Educational Opportunity objectives.
