For my MSc in Data Science in the UK, most universities offer September intake. Is it If advisable to apply for January or February intakes, will it affect my chances for scholarships and campus housing??
While most UK universities offer the main intake in September, a few also have January or February intakes for certain programs, including MSc in Data Science. Applying for the January/February intake is possible, but it can have some implications. Firstly, scholarship opportunities are usually more limited for non-September intakes, as many funding options are tied to the main intake deadlines. Secondly, campus accommodation may also be less available, since most halls prioritize September starters. However, if you cannot make the September intake due to personal or academic reasons, the January/February intake is still a viable option—you just need to plan ahead and confirm with the university regarding scholarships and housing availability.
