What are the intake months available for master's programs abroad, specifically for January 2027 or September 2026 in UK/New Zealand?
22 Jun 2026 · Answered by Tharun Kumar U · 1 min read
September and January are the main intake months for master's programs abroad.
- September 2026: This is the primary intake, with the widest range of programs and scholarships available. Most universities in the UK and New Zealand offer this intake.
- January 2027: Many universities also offer a January intake, though program options may be fewer compared to September.
Some institutions may have additional intakes in May or February, but these are less common and usually limited to specific courses.
For the most program choices and opportunities, September 2026 is recommended. If you have a preferred intake, share it with your LeapScholar counsellor for tailored guidance.
