Universities & admissions Questions

Yes, some employers offer spring starts, usually around February or March, but they are less common than the main autumn start in August or September. You should not assume every occupation has a spring intake, so check each vacancy for its exact start date.

Entry rules for the May intake in the UK are similar to September. Most undergraduate courses look for Class 12, course minimum marks and an English score, and postgraduate courses a recognised bachelor's degree and grades. B2 level English is typically needed for the visa, so check each course page.

The main dermatology routes in Canada are the MD at 4 years, a dermatology residency at 5 years, a fellowship of 1 to 2 years, and online certificates of around 15 weeks per stage. Only the MD and residency together make you a dermatologist. Check official pages for current rules.

A teaching assistantship pays you for helping professors with classes, tutorials and grading, while a research assistantship pays you for working on research projects with a professor or group. Both usually give a regular stipend and sometimes tuition support, with set teaching or research hours.

Yes, May starters at a UK university typically study the same content and get the same qualification as September starters. You are described as likely getting 18 months to work after study on the Graduate Route. Only selected courses run in May, so check the latest official rules.

International students can typically get admission at the Paris campus only, even though EPITA has campuses in 5 cities. If you plan to apply for the 2027 or 2028 intake, confirm the campus options for your program on the official EPITA page before you apply.

Usually it is difficult, because most bachelor's degrees in Norway are taught in Norwegian. If you do not speak Norwegian, the guidance is to stick to master's programs. Check each program's language of instruction on the official university page before you apply for the 2027 or 2028 intake.

Some medical courses in Canada require entrance exams such as the MCAT, so check the course you want. After 12th, non-medical options include biotechnology, biomedical sciences, health sciences, psychology and health informatics. Always confirm eligibility on the official university page.
