Unlike other European countries, the UK offers three different intakes for international students. Among the three intakes, September/October (fall) intakes and January/February (winter) intakes are the two most significant ones. Students who have missed the two major intakes can apply for the May intake, which saves them six months' worth of time.
Let us take a detailed look at each intake:
September/October Intake:
The September intake, also known as the fall/autumn intake, is the primary intake for universities offering higher education to international students. Universities and colleges offer their major programs during this intake.
Students applying for admission in this intake get exclusively wide options for study courses. Having said that, there is intense competition to secure their place in universities due to the massive numbers of applicants. However, there is a maximum availability of scholarships and tuition fee waivers in this intake.
Here is a detailed timeline for you to stay updated on things to do during your application process. Take a look!

January/February Intake
The January intake, also known as the winter/spring intake, is the secondary intake for universities offering higher education to international students. Universities offer a lesser number of programs in this intake compared to the September intake.
However, the positive part of this intake is that you do not have to lose a lot of time if you missed out on the September intake, as there are fewer applications. This means your chances of getting admission right away are much higher. Universities also offer a handful of scholarships and tuition waivers.
Let us take a look at a detailed timeline for the January/February intake so that you do not miss out on any vital steps and can plan ahead.

May Intake
The May intake is the shortest summer intake offered by universities to enroll international students in higher education study courses. Admissions in this intake are offered by only a few selected universities.
The May intake offers only a limited number of study programs to students. However, there are very few applicants, which makes it easier for students to get admissions due to less competition.
