How to apply

Application

A completed and signed application form accompanied by a A$500 deposit (which is part-payment of the fee for in-Shanghai expenses) and all relevant evidentiary and permission documents must be submitted by Wednesday 29 August 2012.

Please ensure you read the Student Information Booklet prior to completing the application form and please note that deposit payments will only be refunded if your application is unsuccessful or in the event that the Winter School is cancelled.

A maximum of 65 students will be accepted into the program and applicants are strongly urged to submit applications without delay to avoid disappointment. Preference is given to University of Sydney law students and then to cross-institutional law students. Non-degree and non-law applications are considered only if space permits. Late applications may be considered if places in the program remain available and are processed on a strictly first-come-first-served basis.

Cross-institutional applicants are advised to contact their home institution to confirm that the Winter School can be credited to their degree. Students are required to obtain written permission from their home institution before applying to Sydney Law School and paying the non-refundable deposit.

Additional information relating to the application process is available here.
