When should I start planning or researching for studying abroad, specifically for January 2027 intake?

Start your study abroad planning for the January 2027 intake by June 2025. Beginning 12 - 18 months in advance gives you enough time for university selection, test preparation, applications, and visa processing.
Early preparation offers key advantages:
- Wider university choices
- Better scholarship opportunities (deadlines are often early)
- Ample time for English tests like IELTS
- Smoother visa and accommodation process
Starting by June 2025 helps ensure you meet all deadlines and reduces last-minute stress. If you need help creating your timeline, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
