澳-弗林德斯大学-4月重要信息更新

Welcome to our April Agent newsletter!

Our semester one students have seamlessly settled into their studies, and it’s truly wonderful to see our campuses buzzing with the energy and enthusiasm of so many happy, new faces. Looking ahead toward to our upcoming July and October intakes, we have some important updates and news to share with you.

Time is running out! Applications for our prestigious Vice-Chancellor International Scholarships are closing soon on Friday 18 April 2025.

As we enter the second half of 2025, students have two intake options that provide flexibility for their study plans.

Semester 2 – A Fresh Start
Perfect for students unable to join in Semester 1, this intake offers a wide range of courses and the chance to dive into studies without waiting another year.

October Intake – A Hidden Gem for 2025
Though smaller, the October intake offers great perks. Students benefit from more accommodation availability with less competition and better housing options, as well as cheaper airfares during the off-peak travel season.

Limited spots are available for both intakes so it’s important for students to decide as soon as possible. Your guidance as education agents can help them secure the best start for their academic journey.

Flinders' Laboratory Medicine course is an exciting specialisation that builds on the Bachelor of Medical Science degree and covers areas such as haematology and transfusion science, microbiology, genetics, immunology, virology, biochemistry, molecular biology and more.

Course highlights:

• Australian Institute of Medical and Clinical Scientists (AIMS) accredited course on skill shortage list.
• Two 13-week placements, equating to approximately 900 hours of laboratory placement in the fourth year of the degree, allowing students to apply their learning in a full-time capacity to a diagnostic pathology laboratory environment.
• Opportunity to study in the only Teaching hospital in South Australia – Flinders Medical Centre (FMC).

At Flinders University, we continuously seek to enhance communication and streamline processes for our valued education agent partners. We’re excited to introduce a dedicated inbox—Flinders Agent Management—specifically for all agent management-related inquiries.

Whether you need support around Ascent One or StudyLink access, have questions about Flinders agreement and agent policies, or need clarification on any other related matters, our team is here to help! Simply send us an email at flinders.agent@flinders.edu.au, and we will respond as quickly as possible.

We thank you for your continued support in representing Flinders University, and we look forward to working closely with you through this new channel.

At Flinders University, we’ve noticed that some student visa applications are being submitted several weeks after the Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) has been issued. This delay can lead to tight processing times, potentially preventing students from receiving their visas on time and impacting their ability to start their studies as scheduled.

To prevent delays, we strongly encourage agents to prepare visa documents in advance and submit applications immediately after receiving the CoE for timely processing and approval.

Why it matters:

• Avoid Delays: Allows enough time for visa processing.
• Better Student Experience: Ensures a smooth, stress-free start to studies.
• Streamlined Process: Reduces complications and improves efficiency.

We appreciate your efforts in helping students navigate their visa applications. Together, we can ensure a seamless start to every student's academic journey.

In March, we had the privilege of hosting over 50 global education agents for an unforgettable experience across our state-of-the-art Flinders City Campus, cutting-edge Tonsley Campus, and stunning Bedford Park Campus.

Our esteemed partners discovered Flinders' world-class programs, exceptional facilities, dynamic campus life, and powerful industry connections that drive outstanding global graduate outcomes.

Alongside the Flinders team, agents enjoyed an immersive student experience—soaking in the vibrant campus atmosphere, sharing a drink at the iconic Bedford Park Tavern, and dining with a sunset view along the beachfront.

Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Thank you for your ongoing support and please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team if you have any questions.
