Yes, you can apply for master's programs in the UK for the winter intake, which typically starts in January. The January intake offers a range of courses, though options may be fewer than the main September intake.

Application deadlines for January 2027 vary by university and program. For example:
- Loughborough University (London): 14 December 2026
- University of Liverpool: 18 December 2026
- Cardiff University: 4 December 2026
- University of Exeter: 4 January 2027 (applications open 2 March 2026)
- University of Strathclyde: Offers January entry for select programs

Deadlines and available courses are subject to change.
