What are the preferred intakes for masters programs in these countries in UK/Ireland?
24 Aug 2026 · Answered by Muskan Jain · 1 min read
The main intake for master's programs in Canada, the UK, and Ireland is September/Fall, which offers the widest choice of courses and scholarships.
- Canada: Fall (September) is most popular; January (Winter) and May (Summer) have fewer options.
- UK: September/October (Fall) is primary; January/February (Spring) and May (Summer) are less common.
- Ireland: September (Fall) is main; January (Spring) and May (Summer) are limited.
If you are targeting the January 2027 intake, note that program availability is more limited than in the main September intake.
