Intake Questions

01When should I apply for the September intake?

Start 9 to 15 months before, depending on your level: shortlisting and tests first, applications in the autumn and winter, visa in summer. Big scholarship rounds close around a year before you start.

02Which countries have a January intake?

UK, USA, Canada, Ireland, France, Sweden, Finland, UAE have January or early-spring intakes at many universities.

03Is the January intake worse than September?

Not worse, but smaller: fewer courses and fewer scholarships. It suits students who need more time for tests or missed September.
