The intake for your master's in September 2027 is the Fall (Autumn) intake, starting in September 2027.

Applications for this intake usually open several months to a year in advance, with classes beginning around September or October 2027. This is the main and most popular intake for master's programs in countries like France and Germany.

You can start your master's abroad in either January/February or September/October, depending on the country and university.

- Germany: Main intakes are October (Winter Semester) and April (Summer Semester). For a January 2027 start, the Summer Semester (April 2027) is the closest option, with applications typically due November 2026 - January 15, 2027. Program availability is wider in October.
- France: Main intakes are September/October (Fall) and January/February (Spring). For January 2027, the Spring Intake aligns with your preference, with applications usually open June - September/October 2026.

Intake months and deadlines are subject to change and may vary by university and program.
