How UK intakes work
When UK intakes run
September is the main UK intake and January the second; some institutions add February, March, May or November starts. A September 2027 page will appear here once institutions publish routes for it. Visa processing times are published by the UK government on GOV.UK.
Why some months are missing
Intakes whose application deadlines have already passed are marked closed on the institution's profile and are not counted here. Each intake page lists the institutions and routes behind the figures above.
Indicative information from institution intake flyers. Fees, scholarships and entry requirements apply to the whole route, not to one course, and can change. Last reviewed 14 October 2026. YAP confirms current details with you before any application. Nothing here is an offer or a guarantee of admission or a visa.
Not sure which start date to aim for?
Tell us the intake you have in mind and the YAP team will confirm which routes are still open. An enquiry is not an application.
