Australia Admission Checklist


The main intake for all Australian Institutions is July. Every University opens admissions for all courses that they offer, for the July intake. There is also a Mid-year intake offered by some Australian Universities during November and February. It is important to keep in mind that, a university offering an intake in February might not necessarily offer all the courses that they have on the list, during the mid-year intake. Whether or not a University will offer a July intake can be found out on the university website, university brochures or from our career counselors. Some universities also follow November – summer intake. It is available only for a limited number of universities and limited courses.
