Many wonder whether they should begin studies at the beginning of the academic year, or during the mid-year intake.
Choosing the right time to start your university journey is momentous. Many students wonder whether they should begin their university studies at the start of the academic year in March. Or to opt for the mid-year intake in September.
At Swinburne Sarawak, we offer an excellent mid-year intake option. The intake allows you to start your educational journey later in the year instead of waiting for the conventional academic year, which is usually in the first quarter of the year.
So let’s explore what mid-year intake is all about, who can take advantage of this option and the many benefits it offers you.
When is the mid-year intake at Swinburne Sarawak?
The 2023 mid-year intake will be on September 4. While it’s typical in Australia for the mid-year intake to be in July, Swinburne Sarawak’s mid-year intake is aligned with the domestic academic calendar.
And like the conventional intake at the beginning of the year, Swinburne’s mid-year intake offers enrolment into its many programs, including Foundation Studies, diploma programs and undergraduate degree programs.
Can I start mid-year at Swinburne Sarawak?
Absolutely! Swinburne Sarawak welcomes domestic and international students to take advantage of the mid-year intake option.
Our mid-year intake is designed to enable you to plan your academic journey based on your individual circumstances and needs. Whether you are a recent secondary school graduate, or an employed individual looking to upskill, our mid-year intake gives you the excellent opportunity to commence at your university.
We know it is such a bummer to have to wait when you’re all ready to start, so our mid-year intake enables to you start now without waiting for the next academic year!
What are the benefits of enrolling into Swinburne mid-year?
You don’t have to wait
Rather than waiting several months for the next academic year to begin in March, you can start your studies immediately. This keeps your academic and career momentum going!
Get a head start
You get to finish your study sooner than those who are waiting for 2024. This puts you ahead of your peers and starts on your goals sooner.
You can explore
At secondary school, you may have a general idea of your interests and career goals. When you enrol during a mid-year intake, you have the opportunity to delve deeper into your studies and even explore different subjects. Your passions may shift and you could discover new areas of interest.
Finally, our mid-year intake offers you plenty of study options. It’s a myth that you can not start in the program you want at mid-year. This is because our mid-year offers you the same study options as that of our March intake. These options include our range of diplomas, undergraduate degrees and some of our postgraduate by coursework programs.
