Apply now to start your degree in Semester 1 2022
The first step is to apply for your preferred degree.
Step 2
Getting an offer
You may receive an offer to start your study online. Don’t worry, starting online doesn’t mean you can’t come onto campus. If you secure your flights in time, you can arrive before semester starts. If you aren't able to arrive in Adelaide in time, we will assist you to transition to on-campus study anytime during your first semester. This means you don’t have to rush to book a plane ticket which is good news as we know that flights are going to be in high demand in early 2022.
We think your best chance of stepping onto campus as soon as possible is to accept your offer to start online so you can transition during Semester 1. To support you in your transition, we’re offering the same discounted online fee of $AUD 2875 per 4.5 unit course during your first study period, regardless of when you arrive.
Step 3
Plan your travel
Now that you’ve got your offer and are scheduled to start studying online in February (Study Period 2) or April (Study Period 3) – you can focus on your travel plans. Remember, you can arrive anytime during your first semester.
We will support your transition to on-campus study as soon as you can get on a flight. This means no rushing and no pressure – let’s take some of the stress out of your travel plans. Click on the link below for key information you will need to keep in mind as you make your travel plans.
