According to you, is it better to wait for the September 2027 intake or try to target the September 2026 intake?
Targeting the September 2026 intake is recommended if you are ready, as it offers key advantages for your master's in the UK.
- Full 2-year post-study work visa (Graduate Route): Starting in September 2026 lets you graduate and apply for the post-study work visa before the December 31, 2026 deadline, giving you a two-year work period. Applications after this date will be limited to 18 months.
- Wider course and scholarship options: The September intake is the main admission cycle, so you'll find more program choices and opportunities.
If you need more preparation time or your preferred course is only available in September 2027, that intake is still an option, but the post-study work period may be shorter.
