Yes, you can apply for the January 2027 intake in the UK even if you have six months left to complete your internship. Many UK universities offer January start dates for master's programs, giving you flexibility as you finish your current studies. However, it's important to make sure your internship will be fully completed by the time your chosen course begins, as some universities require all qualifications to be finished before you start. Be sure to check the entry requirements for each university and consider the student visa process as well. If you need more specific guidance, your LeapScholar counsellor can help clarify next steps based on your situation.
