Yes, the major intakes for New Zealand universities are February and July.
February is the primary intake, offering the widest range of programs and scholarships. July is the secondary, mid-year intake with fewer options.
The February intake is currently open for future admissions, and it's the main entry point for most Master's programs. Now is a good time to start preparing your application for February 2027.
