Australian universities offer two prime intakes for international students. These intakes are also referred to as semesters in most universities.  The intakes in Australia are:

1. February Intake (Semester 1)
2. July Intake (Semester 2)

February Intake

It’s the main intake for Australia. The classes start in late February or early March and end in late May or early June. Applicants will get numerous courses and universities options in this intake as it is a primary semester. 

The deadline for this semester is between October and November.

July Intake

The classes start in July or early August and end in November. The courses and universities option will be slightly less than the main intake. 

The deadline for this semester is between April and May.

The application process should be prepared accordingly because different universities have different deadlines for intakes. It is best if you begin before six months. Complete Language and Entrance Tests before three months, and devote the remaining time to the admissions and visa applications.

Few numbers of universities offering limited courses have intakes like September and November in Australia. 

If you choose to study a vocational course then the deadline for this is January, May or July.

Which intake is best for me?

Each intake has its own set of amenities and benefits. If you have all of the required paperwork, you can apply for any intake that fits your needs. However, we recommend that you do not apply in rush or you will miss out on the opportunity to study in Australia. 

As previously stated, February intakes offer a variety of courses from most universities; if you are ready, this intake might be for you; if not, wait until the next one.

The majority of foreign students, mostly Indian students, enrol in July, but February is also a good option for certain programs. However, before deciding on the best intake for you, consider the following factors:

Acceptance rates

Preferred program’s availability
