Which intake is right for me?

To be able to choose the right intake, you’ll need to know three things:

1. The semester in which your preferred University of Sydney undergraduate degree is offered for example March or July. If the degree starts only in March, the best option is to undertake a USFP intake ending in November or December, otherwise you will have a long wait for the start of your degree.
