For New Zealand, main intakes are in February and July, with some courses in September or November. In Australia, primary intakes are February and July, and some programs start in November. In the UK, the main intake is September/October, with additional options in January and, for some courses, April/May. Always check exact dates for your chosen university and program.

Most MBA programs in New Zealand and the UK offer multiple intakes each year.

New Zealand:
- February (Semester 1): Main intake, widest course options.
- July (Semester 2): Secondary intake, fewer options.
- Some universities may offer additional or rolling intakes, especially for specialized or online MBAs.

UK:
- September: Main intake, most courses and networking opportunities.
- January: Available at many universities.
- May: Offered at select institutions, less common.

Exact intake months and deadlines vary by university and are subject to change. For the most accurate options, discuss your target universities and timelines with your LeapScholar counsellor.
