It depends. The September intake is available at some New Zealand institutions, but it is less common and usually limited to specific programs like short courses, diplomas, or specialized postgraduate certificates.

Most master’s programs offer more options and scholarships in the February and July intakes. If you want a wider selection and better chances, the February intake is generally preferred. The September intake may have limited seats and fewer choices.
