More application information

• When to apply

  There are several start dates throughout the year. Typically, the fall semester starts in August, the spring semester starts in January, and the summer semester starts in May.

  Application deadlines

  We advise you to apply as early as possible, usually at least 2 months in advance. This will allow enough time for your qualifications to be checked, visa to be processed, and to make pre-arrival arrangements. Choose your preferred university to check exact deadlines:

  • Arizona State University dates and application deadlines
  • Northeastern University summary sheets
  • Pace University dates and application deadlines
  • The University of Tulsa dates and application deadlines
• Costs of studying in the US

  Studying in the US is an investment of money as well as effort, so you’ll need to make sure your finances are well-organized. See the tuition booklet for the price of pathway programs and degrees at our partner universities in the USA.

  As well as your program tuition, you must also have funds to cover costs such as your university tuition, course books, housing and health insurance. This amount varies by university and degree:

  • Cost of attendance at Arizona State University
  • Cost of attendance at Pace University
  • Cost of attendance at the University of Tulsa

  For estimated expenses at Northeastern University, refer to the I-20 request for your program of interest.

• Scholarships

  To help with the cost of studying in the USA, there are partial tuition scholarships available for academically outstanding students. You will be automatically assessed for a scholarship when you apply to some pathway programs and degrees at our partner universities. You can find more details on our scholarships page.

• Admission decisions

  When your application to study at a US university is complete, the university makes an admission decision. If successful, they will issue you an offer. There are 2 types of offer:

  • Unconditional: there are no conditions you need to meet, but you may still need to send financial documents as part of the visa application process
  • Conditional: if you need to improve your English proficiency, you will be conditionally admitted to a degree or pathway program. You must then submit a qualifying language score or join an Intensive English Program, before you start your academic program.

  If your application is not successful, we can look at alternative or more suitable study options for you based on your qualifications and circumstances.
