Yes, you can apply for the January intake next year if you take your IELTS exam in October this year.
Just ensure your chosen university’s application deadline falls after you receive your IELTS results. IELTS results are typically available 13 days after your test date, so confirm the timing aligns with university deadlines, which can vary by institution.
