Expert Answers
Which intakes are available for psychology courses in Germany and the Netherlands, and when should I apply for a Master's?
→What are the intake periods available for sports nutrition master's programs, especially for next year summer intake in UK/Germany?
→I finished my MCA last year after an earlier 3 year gap for exam prep, and I'm now working at Amazon. Which intake should I target for an MSc in Computer Science in Germany?
→Target the winter 2027 intake, which opens for applications around March to May 2027. By then you will have roughly two full years at Amazon, which meaningfully offsets your earlier three year gap, and winter is also when most top German universities admit new Computer Science master's students.
My Computer Science bachelor's finishes in June 2026 and I already have a B1 Goethe certificate, with a CGPA of 9.26. Should I aim for winter 2026 in Germany or wait for summer 2027?
→Target summer 2027 rather than winter 2026. Winter 2026 application deadlines fall between May and July 2026, before you receive your final degree certificate or complete your APS certificate, making that window impossible to meet. Your 9.26 CGPA is strong enough that waiting preserves your profile instead of rushing.
