Australia’s academic year begins early in the calendar year and most universities offer multiple intakes for international students. The main intake is in February/March, where the largest number of universities open admissions and the widest range of programs and seats are available. The second key intake is in July, offering another opportunity for students who miss the first round. Some institutions also offer a November intake for selected courses, though this is smaller with limited options. Different universities may vary on exact months and deadlines, so it’s important to check specific schedules when planning applications.
