It depends on the country and university, but here are typical timelines for master's applications:

- Germany: Offers usually arrive 4 - 12 weeks after you apply, often between March and July for the next academic year.
- UK: Responses can come within a few days to a few weeks. Some universities aim to reply within three weeks.
- Ireland: Most universities take 2 - 8 weeks, with decisions typically made 1 - 3 months after application.
- France: Timelines vary widely by university and program; there is no standard timeframe.

These estimates are subject to change and can be affected by how complete your application is, the competitiveness of the program, and when you apply.
