The January intake (also known as the Winter intake) in the UK is a popular option for international students who missed the September intake or prefer a later start to their studies. It typically begins in January or February, offering a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Many universities, including University of Glasgow and University of Bristol, offer this intake, especially for business, engineering, and IT courses. The
January intake provides flexibility for students to start their academic journey mid-year and still graduate in the usual timeframe. However, students should be mindful of application deadlines, visa processing, and accommodation availability, as these may vary by university.
