24 Aug 2026 · Answered by Leeladhar S · 1 min read
Application deadlines for October start master's programs vary by university and country. For most UK and UAE universities, deadlines typically fall between late July and late August for international applicants.
- UK universities: Common deadlines range from mid-July to late August for students needing a visa.
- UAE universities: Deadlines are usually late July for international applicants.
You should apply as early as possible - ideally at least 2-3 months before the course start date - to ensure you have enough time for visa processing and document preparation.
