The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) typically follows two main intakes for most universities and institutions: Semester 1 (February/March) and Semester 2 (July/August). Some institutions may also offer a third intake in November for select courses.
Application deadlines vary by institution but generally close several months before the semester starts. For Semester 1, deadlines often fall between October and December of the previous year. For Semester 2, deadlines usually range from April to May. Early applications are recommended, especially for competitive programs or international students requiring visa processing.
