For January 2027 master's intakes, several universities in Germany and Ireland offer scholarships, but the study structure and intake options differ:

- Germany: Most master's programs are 2 years (4 semesters), with intakes typically in October or April. January intakes are rare. Scholarships like the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) are available for eligible international students and cover monthly stipends and other benefits.

- Ireland: Many universities offer one-year full-time master's programs, especially in business, technology, and sciences, with January intakes at select institutions. Scholarships are available at universities such as Dublin City University (DCU), University of Strathclyde (£6,000 - £8,000), and University of Exeter (£3,000 - £10,000).

Ireland is more likely to have January start dates for your preferred programs.
