September (Fall) intake is the best option for a master's in the USA or UK. This intake offers the widest range of courses and is the most popular among international students.

- USA: September is the main intake for most universities.
- UK: September is primary, but some universities also offer a January intake for select programs.

With your 2024 graduation and 16 months of work experience, applying for the September intake lets you maximize your options and aligns with major recruitment cycles, improving internship and job prospects after graduation.
