WHO IS IT FOR?

Our “X” Trimester is ideal for International and local students who are currently in Australia.

It is only available to students who are commencing their study with Kaplan Business School in the month of May, September or December of each year.

Please view our Important Dates page for specific intake information.

WHY IS IT BEING OFFERED?

Our “X” Trimester was offered for the first time in 2020 because of unprecedented demand from students and well-informed advice from our education agents.

We know, for example, that many students wish to take advantage of our independently verified reputation for high-quality education but are unable to do so at a time of their choosing due to there being just three intakes per year. Our “X” Trimester therefore provides students with an opportunity to join Kaplan Business School in between Trimesters 1, 2 and 3 via a fast-track study period.

WHICH COURSES ARE AVAILABLE FOR AN “X” TRIMESTER?

The full suite of KBS undergraduate Bachelor courses and postgraduate courses will be available via a select number of subjects to be taught on-campus.

Available courses are:
