James Cook University (JCU) has two main intakes annually, aligning with the Australian academic calendar. The first intake begins in February (Semester 1), and the second starts in July (Semester 2). Some courses may offer additional intakes in November or other months, depending on the program.
Application deadlines typically fall several months before the semester starts. For February intake, deadlines are usually in November-December of the preceding year. For July intake, deadlines are often in May-June. International students should apply earlier to allow time for visa processing. Check JCU’s official website for program-specific deadlines, as they may vary.
