Where To Apply

Australian universities with more than one intake a year

Almost every Australian university has a February and a July intake. A smaller number run three or more starts a year, which matters if you have missed a semester deadline, are waiting on a test result, or simply want to begin sooner.

More frequent intakes also mean shorter gaps between finishing one qualification and starting the next, which can help you stay in status on a student or graduate visa.
