Australia's application time for graduate students

In Australia, most universities implement the dual-semester system:

Autumn semester: Semester 1, which usually starts at the end of February and the beginning of March;

spring semester: the second semester (Semester 2), which usually starts at the end of July and the beginning of August.

Autumn is the big school season, and spring is the small school season, and more majors can be applied for in February than in July.

Students can choose different times to enter school according to their personal plans.

1. Undergraduate application

If you want to enter school in February next year after graduation, you can roughly refer to the following timeline:

Winter vacation for senior three (January): search and screen the information of institutions and majors to determine the target institutions and majors.

Summer vacation from Grade Two to Grade Three (April-August): Search and select information about institutions and majors, and determine the target institutions and majors.

Senior 3 (September-October): Prepare application materials according to the application requirements of official website, the target institution, generally including high school transcripts, proof of study, language scores, etc.

2. Timeline of Postgraduate Application

Next, let's take a look at the postgraduate application in Australia. Postgraduate applications in Australia are generally applied by universities in official website. Only a few cases can be applied through a unified application system, such as SATAC and QTAC. However, like undergraduate applications, there are many restrictions on international students.

Like undergraduate applications, graduate students in Australian universities have two admission periods, February and July. Some institutions have multiple application periods, and even universities accept applications all year round! Therefore, according to different personal time plans and target institutions, the application timeline is also slightly different.

Let's take the enrollment in February as an example. The application timeline can be roughly referred to as follows:

January-June of the year before departure: First, determine the target institutions and majors, and sign up for language or academic examination training abroad. According to your actual situation, you can take language or academic exams many times during the period.

June-July: graduated from domestic universities. And before the summer vacation in China, we should go through the relevant procedures and prepare the application materials for studying abroad, including graduation certificates, diplomas or degree certificates, transcripts, portfolios, letters of recommendation, PS, etc. At the same time, you can continue to take exams that are not up to standard.

July-September: This period is the hot season for studying in Australia. You can start to submit your application and continue to take the required exams.

September-December: conditional or unconditional offer are received one after another; After getting the unconditional offer, you can pay the tuition fee and get the admission confirmation letter as required; Those students who get Conditional offer will submit relevant materials as required, such as qualified language scores and complete study transcripts. At the same time, you can also prepare visa-related materials, such as deposit certificates.

December-January of the following year: prepare the visa materials and submit the application, and take part in the physical examination.

January-February of the following year: get the visa and start the pre-departure preparations, including arranging accommodation, booking air tickets, packing luggage and understanding the entry and exit related matters. Finally, you can study in Australia.

In fact, whether you apply for admission in February or July, you usually need to prepare at least half a year or a year in advance. If your language foundation is weak, you may need more time in advance.

Different majors in each school have their own special requirements. If you need to know more detailed application requirements of each university, you can check the successful cases of previous applications according to your college background and achievements through the volunteer reference system for studying abroad.

The reference system for studying abroad is as follows: The general application process for studying in the UK, which I hope can help you better understand and prepare.
