There is no better choice for graduate education than The University of Texas at Austin. 

One of the world’s leading research universities, UT Austin offers top-ranked graduate programs across all disciplines, a welcoming community for international students and great value and affordability.

How to Apply

Whether you're interested in starting a graduate program as a new student, seeking readmission to a program, or hoping to change your major, an application is required. International applicants follow the same processes as U.S. applicants, but may be required to submit additional test scores.

Graduate Readmission

Following a break in enrollment of one long semester or more, students previously enrolled in a UT Austin graduate program who wish to return to their program must apply for readmission.

Change Graduate Major

Current or returning UT Austin graduate students who wish to be considered for admission to a different graduate program must apply for a change of major.
