Arts
If you are enrolled in an Australian Full-Fee paying place in a masters by coursework program, you can request consideration for a CSP by emailing arts-gradadmissions@unimelb.edu.au by the CSP closing date for the next intake.
Current students requesting a transfer to a CSP are not treated as a separate cohort, but rather go into competition with commencing CSP applicants. Applications are assessed by looking at the applicant's most recent relevant 300 points of study including current studies.
The Faculty will also accept Graduate Access Melbourne applications in cases where your situation has changed (for the worse) since commencing the course, or if you tried to apply for Graduate Access Melbourne previously but missed the closing date.
