Enrolment and costs
Enrolment
Before you enrol you need approval from the department you will be studying with.
You may begin a PhD at any time (usually the first of the month) that is convenient to you and your supervisor.
Continuing PhD students must re-enrol each year/part year of your PhD. You will be sent information on how to re-enrol either in December or 1 month before the anniversary of your official start date.
Enrolment information for new and continuing PhD students on the Enrol at UC website.
Costs
You enrol and pay fees for each year (or part year) you study for your PhD. If you haven't done this you won't be able to submit your thesis and complete your studies.
