July Intake Australia: Top Courses, Universities & Career Prospects For 2025

Australia is a highly trending choice for students studying abroad. It offers excellent education, multicultural job opportunities, and a high-quality lifestyle. Australia has a bi-annual academic cycle with two primary intakes, February and July. February is the primary intake cycle, but the July intake is just as valuable, as it allows students to begin studying mid-academic year rather than waiting for the next cycle. This preferential intake is more relevant for students who may have missed application timelines or simply need to be more flexible in their studies. The majority of the best universities in Australia offer an excellent range of courses for the July intake, with a variety of disciplines such as business, technology, healthcare, and engineering. The following are some of the best courses available in this period as guided by Ms. Mamta Jani, Founder, On Track Education.

1. Business and Management

International students typically favor courses in business administration, finance, accounting, and management. Some other courses offered by top-notch universities like the University of Melbourne, Monash University and UNSW Sydney are Master of Business Administration MBA, Bachelor of Commerce, Master of Finance, etc. With great career opportunities in fields like banking, consulting, and entrepreneurship, these programs are in high demand.

2. Information Technology and Computer Science

As the demand for tech professionals grows, it has become a common trend for students to take courses on computer science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and software engineering. ANU, one of the leading universities in Australia, the University of Sydney, and RMIT University offer advanced training programs in Australia for preparing students in high demand professions such as data science, IT security, and cloud computing.
