Will going for the September intake cause an educational gap on my resume for a Master's?

No, starting your master's in September 2026 right after graduating will not create an educational gap on your resume. This is considered a direct and continuous progression in your studies.

However, the September intake is highly competitive and usually sees peak visa processing times, which can lead to longer wait periods for approvals. Applying early can help you avoid delays and secure your spot.
