Are there universities available for the spring or winter intake or only very few options in UK/Germany for a Master's?

Yes, universities in both Germany and the UK offer spring (also called summer) and winter intakes, but the number of available programs varies.

- Germany: The main intake is winter (October), with the most master's programs. The spring (April) intake is available at many universities but with fewer program options.
- UK: The main intake is September/October. Some universities offer winter (January/February) and spring (April/May) intakes, but these have fewer programs and are less common.

Winter intakes generally have more choices, while spring intakes exist but with limited options.

September or January: which intake can you still make?
