If I take the intake next year, will I be able to learn the required language in time in France/Netherlands for a Master's?

Yes, you can reach conversational proficiency in the local language before your intake next year if you start now.

For master's programs in France, Poland, and the Netherlands, your IELTS score of 7.0 is already sufficient for most English-taught courses, so learning the local language is not required for academics. However, knowing French, Dutch, or Polish will help you adapt and find work locally.

- French: 600 - 750 hours to reach conversational level
- Dutch: 600 - 900 hours
- Polish: 1,100 hours

Starting regular classes now gives you enough time to prepare before September 2027. Intensive study or immersion can speed up your progress.
