Hi I'm looking to apply for University in Australia. And the intake I'm looking for is January 25(personal reasons for not applying this year) which will make my year gap of 2 years at the time I apply. Yesterday I had a conversation with a Flinders University representative on a education fair. He clearly said I have less chances. What should I do? At the moment I don't find Canada I my interest and prefer Australia more. Is it really a huge deal in most university and is there anyway to justify ( I have admit card of exams I appeared for). If anyone in the same situation please connect. #StudyAbroad #AustralianUniversities #FlindersUniversity #YearGap

Hello Prince,

Most Universities in Australia and even the visa authorities accept a gap of 2 academic years for international students. More than 2 gap years becomes challenging but a strong reason for the drop year can change the game.

Therefore, if you have a gap of 1-2 years there should not be much of a problem in getting admission or an Australian student visa. However, for any length of time gap in studies, the reasons must be justified.

So you must be ready with valid reasons to take a pause from your studies, and also prove why it took you two years to return to studies. All this must be reflected in your statement of interest/purpose (SOI or SOP). Here is what can help you:

  • First of all, give reasons to support your academic gap. Also, give proofs for the same. Get a gap certificate if required.
  • If you were taking any exams you need to show the scores and reports. Also, you might have to justify why you didn’t get through.
  • With this also comes the question of how and why you believe that studying in Australia would unleash your academic potential.
  • Justify why do you wish to continue your education after a long gap.
  • Moreover, your statement should also reflect your motivation and dedication towards the particular discipline of study.
  • You must also be able to reflect on why Australia is your preferred choice of study-abroad destination.

On top of that, having a good previous academic record will improve your chances of studying in Australia. Give an overview of your academic as well as extracurricular prowess by attaching certificates and score reports to your application. Make your application unique, authentic and fool-proof and a 2-year gap will no longer be a wall between you and your study abroad dream.
