Germany and the Netherlands both offer two main intakes for psychology master's programs:

Germany:
- Winter Semester (October start): Main intake. Apply by July 2027 for September 2027 entry.
- Summer Semester (April start): Less common. Applications usually close by mid-January.

Netherlands:
- September (Fall) intake: Main intake. Apply by May 2027 for September 2027 entry.
- February (Spring) intake: Smaller intake. Applications close by mid-January.

Start your application process 6 - 9 months before your preferred intake to allow time for documents, language tests, and visa steps.

September or January: which intake can you still make?
