Six universities: Monash, Deakin, La Trobe, Griffith, CQU and Federation, run a genuine November start, mostly for Business and IT. Medicine and Law aren&#8217;t part of it at any major university, though a few public health programmes are available at Griffith, Deakin and CQU.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790336300552\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Is there enough time to get a visa for the November intake from India?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Only if you already hold an offer. Visa processing for a subclass 500 application typically runs 8 to 16 weeks, and working backwards from a 2 to 23 November class start, that window has already closed or is closing for most applicants as of late September. If you&#8217;re starting from scratch, plan for February or March 2027 instead.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790336302223\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>When should I apply for the November intake in Australia?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Applications for Monash&#8217;s and Deakin&#8217;s 2026 November intake opened well before September, and both accept applications through the cycle until seats fill. Deakin sets different Trimester 3 closing dates by country of application, so check the exact date for India on Deakin&#8217;s application dates page rather than assuming a fixed deadline.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790336304286\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What are the intakes for Australia?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>There are three intakes in Australia: February, which is the big one with almost every course and university open; July, smaller but still solid; and November, the minor one, limited to specific universities and mostly business or IT. Some universities call these Semester 1, Semester 2 and Trimester 3 instead.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790336305590\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Which intake is best for Australia?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It depends on your situation more than anything else. February gives you the widest course choice, best scholarship access and the most visa processing time. July works if you need a few extra months. November only makes sense for a narrower group, people who missed the earlier deadlines, pathway students, or those avoiding a gap year, and only if their course is actually on offer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790336307134\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What happens in November in Australia academically?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For university trimesters like Deakin, it&#8217;s just Trimester 3, a normal teaching period like any other. For universities like Monash that don&#8217;t run trimesters across the board, it&#8217;s a special, narrower intake built for a specific, limited set of courses.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790336308252\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What courses are available in the November intake in Australia?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Mostly Business, across nearly every major at Monash, plus MBA options at Deakin, La Trobe and Federation. IT and computer science also feature prominently. A few postgraduate options like Data Science and Public Health show up at Griffith and Deakin. Health Science, Medicine and Law are not part of any university&#8217;s November list.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790336309370\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Which colleges or universities offer the November intake?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Monash, Deakin, La Trobe, Griffith, Central Queensland University, and Federation University offer a November intake, along with Kaplan Business School, which is a private higher education provider rather than a university. Course availability shifts year to year, so it&#8217;s worth a quick check on the university&#8217;s own site before you build a plan around it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790336310651\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Does RMIT have a November intake?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, though RMIT calls it &#8220;Semester 3&#8221; rather than a November intake specifically, and classes can start anywhere from September to November depending on the course. Per RMIT&#8217;s own page, it&#8217;s limited to a select number of courses, mostly vocational and diploma-level at its Melbourne City campus, not a broad degree offering. Check RMIT&#8217;s Semester 3 page for the current course list.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1790336311879\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is the total first-year cost for a November start?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The total first-year cost for a November start is roughly AUD 57,000 to 89,000 (Rs.38.4 lakh to Rs.60.0 lakh), which includes tuition, the AUD 2,500 visa application charge, OSHC, and the AUD 29,710 living-cost requirement, before any scholarship.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">10<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">min read<\/span><\/span> \u26a1 Quick Read November is Australia&#8217;s smallest intake, run by only six universities.
