New Zealand typically has two main intakes for most courses each year:

- February intake (Semester 1): This is the primary intake, with the widest range of programs.
- July intake (Semester 2): A second intake, but with fewer course options than February.

Some institutions may offer additional intakes, such as summer or October sessions, for select programs.

Since you're interested in a Master's starting February 2027, the February intake is the main option to target. Application deadlines and program availability are subject to change by institution. If you need help with deadlines or program choices, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
