LittleDeer Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, I wanted to ask those who are applying to australian unis, do you apply for the sem.1 in february or the sem.2 in july? I've read on UNSW page that IB students who finish in may can apply for sem.2, but does that mean we cannot apply for the one in february? And does it make any difference? If I apply for sem.2 does it mean that I've missed a part of the course, or what? I'm new to it, so sorry if it's a stupid question Edited July 25, 2016 by LittleDeer Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely are courses only offered once a year. That means if you apply for mid-year entry, you just take the same courses as though you started in February. If you apply for semester 1 entry, then you have to wait half a year without school or you could just directly go to school in July with a very short break after high school.
