Will I be able to apply for the October intake for my course, or is it only available for the February intake in New Zealand for a Master's?

Yes, you can apply for the October intake for your Master's in New Zealand if your chosen university and program offer this option. Most universities primarily offer the February intake, but a few, like the Southern Institute of Technology, do have October start dates for select programs.

October intakes are less common and may have different deadlines. Check if your preferred course is available for October before proceeding.

September or January: which intake can you still make?
