When you can start
Not every course runs in every intake. Pick the one your course actually offers, not the soonest one.
| February Main intake | The main intake. |
|---|---|
| July Second intake | Second intake, well supported across most universities. |
| November Limited | A few universities run a third trimester. |
Applying roughly 6–9 months before your intake gives the visa stage enough room.
