Can you send me the list of courses available for the September 2026 and January 2027 intakes in UK for a MBA/MSc?
Yes, September is the dominant UK intake, offered by essentially every university including Oxford, Imperial, LSE, Warwick, and Manchester for MBA and MSc programs. January 2027 intakes are narrower but active at Northumbria, Coventry, Strathclyde, Brunel, and Bedfordshire, mainly for business masters and MBA cohorts aimed at mid-year applicants.
You have real options for both intakes, but they are not equally deep. September is the comprehensive UK intake where virtually every university runs its full MBA and MSc catalogue, while January is a smaller, targeted intake concentrated at a specific set of business schools built for applicants who miss the autumn deadline.
Universities by Intake
| Intake | Universities | What's on Offer |
|---|---|---|
| September 2026 (broad) | Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, LSE, Warwick, Manchester, Edinburgh | Full MBA and MSc catalogue, including specialised streams like Finance and Analytics |
| September 2026 (business-focused) | Imperial College Business School, London Business School, Alliance Manchester, Warwick Business School, Durham Business School | Extensive MSc streams and flagship MBA structures |
| January 2027 (business masters/MBA) | Northumbria, Coventry, Strathclyde, Brunel, Bedfordshire | Active winter cohorts for business masters and MBAs |
How to Narrow This Down
- Decide your specialisation first: general MBA, Finance, International Business, Data Analytics, or Marketing all have different strong schools within this list.
- Decide whether you want Russell Group prestige or are open to a broader range of universities, since that changes which intake window suits you better.
- If you are tight on time before September 2026, treat the January 2027 universities above as your realistic backup list rather than an afterthought.
My Advice
If your documents and English scores are ready now, apply to the September 2026 flagship schools first since competition is heaviest there. If you need another few months to strengthen your profile or finish exams, target the January 2027 intake at Northumbria, Coventry, Strathclyde, Brunel, or Bedfordshire instead of rushing a weak September application.
