Important Dates
Our Academic Calendar highlights important dates for your studies at Ikon. There are three intakes every year, and the academic calendar is the same for both Bachelor and Diploma courses. All intakes are available at all four three campuses and offered for all modes of study (on campus or online).
To help you settle in, we hold orientation sessions with each intake.
