Is it possible to start the masters course this year end or next year, and what is the typical timeline for settling abroad after admission in Germany/UAE for a Master's?

Yes, you can start your master's course either at the end of this year or early next year, depending on the country and intake.

For Germany:
- Winter Semester (October): Application deadlines usually fall between May and July for an October start. - Summer Semester (April): Applications typically open in October and close by January for an April start.

For UAE:
- September Intake: Applications open about a year in advance, with deadlines from November to May for September arrivals. - January Intake: Applications open in July, with deadlines in October-November for January arrivals.

After receiving your admission offer, allow about 2 - 3 months for student visa processing and pre-departure arrangements. Most students aim to arrive a few weeks before classes begin to settle in and attend orientation.
