Admissions to Research Programs Policy

Overview:

This Policy sets out the University of Adelaide's approach to the selection of applicants for admission to research programs. It reflects the University's commitments to the highest academic standards, by only selecting applicants who are likely to succeed in the University's programs, and to social equity, by encouraging broad access by qualified students from diverse backgrounds. The Policy aims to ensure the integrity of the selection and admission processes, and that admission decisions are transparent, consistent and fair, whilst complying with relevant legislative and regulatory requirements, as well as community expectations.


Note

The Provost may exercise some of the Vice-Chancellor's authorities in this policy - see D2024/647279.
