What are the typical PhD application deadlines in the northern hemisphere?

In summary, the general deadlines for PhD applications typically fall between December and February for programs starting in the following fall semester. However, it is important to note that each university and program may have their own specific deadlines. It is not recommended to submit an application after the deadline as most universities have strict deadlines. If you miss the deadline, you may have the option to apply for the following year, but it is best to contact the university directly for more information. Some universities may have flexibility with deadlines in certain circumstances, but it is best to inquire directly with the university for more information.

Hi all,
When are the deadlines for PhD applications in the northern hemisphere?

  • #2
In the UK, I think (physics at least) deadlines vary from January to March.
 
  • #3
In the US application deadlines are typically earlier, but it varies by the program. My graduate program (University of Colorado) had a deadline of Jan 1 this year. I notice Berkeley, UCLA and Stanford had deadlines of Dec. 15 & 16, and University of Michigan had a deadline of Jan 15.

Most graduate programs make decisions/offers by April 15.
