Did you know that UK universities have a second large intake of international students each academic year? Following the main intake, which takes place every September, each January, universities across the UK offer foundation, undergraduate, and postgraduate courses to international students who need more time to complete pre-university study, apply for funding, or arrange their visas.

Why Should You Start at a UK University in January?
1. Perfect alternative to the September intake
The January session is perfect if you need more time for your application essays, cover letter & research, pre-university studies, transcripts, arranging funds, or applying for your UK study visa. Also, the January intake in the UK is ideal for students who want a break after completing their previous studies without taking a gap year.
2. Ease of applying later
September intake is often overcrowded, and getting lost in the crowd is possible. Chances are that your application will stand out more in the January applications, where fewer students are applying, and the universities have more of your undivided attention. Applying for a visa for the January intake universities in the UK is also less stressful as there is a lower backlog and visa queues, and wait time is not as long.
3. Scholarships and financial aid available for January courses
Several UK universities offer financial aid and scholarships, especially for students enrolling in January undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Scholarships range from £1,000 to £10,000 and are easy to apply for all Indian students, provided they get an offer from the university.
4. More job prospects
Fewer people are entering the job market along with you in January. You could have better prospects in existing jobs and the fresh jobs that come with the turn of the year. The New Year marks new beginnings, and applying to a UK university could be just the change you were looking for to kickstart your successful journey.

I sincerely thank SI-UK for getting me accepted to UCL. The MSc in Urban Development and Planning is extremely competitive, but the right guidance provided by SI-UK made my dream of studying at University College London a reality. The services were exceptional from beginning to end.
