2027 early-bird questions
When does the early-bird close?
Registrations received by 11:59pm AEDT on 31 December 2026 qualify for AMET’s early-bird benefits.
Does registering commit me to anything?
No. Registering secures your early-bird benefits and connects you with an AMET counsellor. You decide whether to apply.
Does AMET submit my application for me?
No. You submit your application to the University of Michigan yourself, through the Common App. AMET helps you plan, prepare and review every part of it, and supports your F-1 student visa.
Which 2027 intake should I choose?
Most students start in the fall semester (August–September 2027). First-year deadlines for fall 2027 are mostly between November 2026 and February 2027, so register as early as possible.
Can I work while I study?
F-1 students can usually work on campus up to 20 hours a week while classes are in session and full-time during official breaks. Off-campus work needs specific authorisation such as CPT or OPT.
Can I stay and work after graduating?
Eligible F-1 graduates can apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT): generally 12 months, plus a 24-month extension for eligible STEM degrees (up to three years in total).
