No, the September 2026 intake is not suitable since you graduate in 2027. The best option is the September 2027 intake, which aligns with your graduation and helps you avoid a gap year.

September is the main intake, offering the widest choice of courses, scholarships, and campus activities. Applying for this session ensures a smooth academic transition and maximizes your opportunities.

If you want to start immediately after graduation, the January 2028 intake is also possible, but it typically has fewer program options.
