The Ara Institute of Canterbury typically has two main intakes per year: February and July. Some programs may also offer additional intakes in April or October, depending on course availability.
Application deadlines vary by program but generally fall 4-6 weeks before the intake start date. International students are advised to apply earlier to allow time for visa processing—usually 3-4 months prior. Specific deadlines can be found on Ara’s official website or by contacting their admissions office directly.
Early applications are recommended, as popular programs may fill quickly. Late applications may be considered if spaces remain.
