Midyear undergraduate uni intake: start studying in semester 2, 2025

Most universities take midyear enrolments, so you can still kickstart your studies this year!

You can apply through UAC to more than 1,000 undergraduate courses starting in semester 2, 2025. But you'll need to act soon. Here's some essential info to help you get started.

When do midyear uni applications open and close?

You can submit a UAC application for semester 2 study as early as April each year. While applications for some semester 2 courses have now closed, applications for many courses are still open.

Application closing dates for courses are listed in UAC's course search.

In general, the final offers for semester 2 will be made in July Round 2 on 24 July 2025: the July Round 2 application deadline is 3 July 2025.

When does semester 2, 2025 start?

Unis that run two semesters a year typically start semester 2 courses between late June and early August.

How do trimesters work?

Some unis organise their teaching calendars into trimesters. The third and final trimester of the year usually starts around September, so the application deadline is a little later than it is for semester 2 courses.

Use UAC’s course search to find when courses start throughout the year and when you need to submit your UAC application.

When will I get a uni offer?

Generally, the final offers for semester 2 courses are made in June and July. Keep an eye on our list of institutions making offers in each round.

Can I transfer to a different university this year?

Yes, if you've already started a degree but realised it's not quite right for you, you can apply to start a different degree (at the same university or a new one) in semester 2. Just be aware that some universities will require you to have completed at least one year of full-time study before you can have it considered as part of your admission assessment.
