Yes, some universities in New Zealand offer courses starting in November, usually as a third trimester or summer school. These programs are typically shorter, intensive, and limited to specific courses or disciplines.

November intakes are less common than the main February and July intakes, which offer a wider range of Master's programs. If your preferred program isn't available in November, the February intake will provide more options.

Given your background in Economics and your plan to pursue a Master's, most programs will have application deadlines several months before the intake. Be sure to prepare for the IELTS, as most universities require an overall score of 6.5 with no band less than 6.0.
