What are the upcoming intakes to start university in the UK?

A number of universities in the UK offer pathway, undergraduate, pre-masters and postgraduate intakes alternative to the most popular traditional Autumn intake that occurs in September or October. Generally the second largest intake starts in the new year, where students will be able to start their courses in January (or February) and is known as a Spring intake. Some universities will also list programmes starting in other months such as March, April, May or June. While not all courses will be available in the specified months, courses you may choose to apply to are dependent on the university offering that programme and its course availability for that chosen start date. Often students will prefer September intakes over other month intakes as universities are offering their major courses during this time and there will also be a greater number of applicants but it is important to consider that other intakes can also be just as equally good for many programmes. For example, Kingston University and the University of Salford offer a number of courses available for their March intake whereas universities like Northumbria University have selected programmes in May as well as the University of Chester.

Which intake is right for me?

You may choose to opt for a different start date depending on your academic records, current study or work situation, academic marks/grades and/or your willingness to make a decision to study at university and start your programme. Deadlines also vary between each university so it is important to always check with a university or department on the deadlines in the course you are interested in.
