I really don't have any idea how the intake system works for studying in Singapore; can you explain how intakes work for a Master's?

Most Singapore universities offer two main intakes for master’s programs:

- August intake (main): This is the primary intake, with classes starting in August or early September. Application deadlines are usually from October to March of the previous year.
- January intake (secondary): Available for select programs, often specialized or research-focused. Classes begin in January or February, with deadlines typically from June to September of the previous year.

Exact intake options and deadlines depend on the university and program.

September or January: which intake can you still make?
