How to apply for the Bachelor of Chiropractic

The academic year starts in February and we accept a maximum of 80 applicants each year. There is one intake each year and the closing date for applications is usually the end of December of the preceeding year. (For example, the closing date for applications to start the Bachelor of Chiropractic in February 2012 is 31 December 2011).

It's not possible to join the course midway through, but you can apply as early as you want. Allowing yourself more time can be useful if you need to complete any of our required science papers before you enrol.
