UK universities typically offer multiple intakes for international students throughout the year, though availability varies by level of study and institution.
The main intake and start of the academic year — most undergraduate and postgraduate courses begin here.
A smaller intake, mainly at postgraduate level, for students who missed the September intake.
A less common spring intake, often available for specific courses or postgraduate programs.
An additional summer intake for selected or specialised short-term programs.
Undergraduate courses generally align with the September intake, while postgraduate courses may offer more flexibility. We'll confirm exact deadlines for your chosen course with you directly.
