Which intake is right for me?
To be able to choose the right intake, you’ll need to know three things:
- The semester in which your preferred University of Western Australia undergraduate degree is offered for example February or July. If the degree starts only in February, the best option is to undertake a UWAFP intake ending in November or December, otherwise you will have a long wait for the start of your degree.
