These may be funded by the government, public/private organisations or institutions. Since a lot of students apply to these scholarships, we recommended you to apply in advance to beat competition and keep aware of the deadline to apply. Know more about the available grants, scholarships and bursaries available in the UK
Pedagogy In British Classrooms
The UK has a high reputation for its education, which is mostly the reason why so many Indian students come here to pursue higher studies. The best part about studying in the UK is the way education is imparted – it goes beyond textbook learning. You’ll be engaged in various activities such as workshops, seminars, tutorials and conferences at all times.
Teachers will expect you to be interactive in the classroom which will involve regular participation in group discussions, quizzes and debates. You’ll also be required to learn to work independently. If you see, education in the UK will eventually enhance your communication skills and help you build critical thought-process, creativity and analytical skills. This may be a little challenging initially but you’ll get the hang of it with constant support from your teachers and classmates.
Academic Year
The standard academic year in the UK begins around the month of September – October. The deadline for applications for courses commencing in September is generally in the preceding January of that year. Two other intakes available for programs in the UK are January and April, which are usually smaller than the September intake. Pathway programs may have additional dates to offer. Always check for the intakes available for your course of preference.
What are Study Abroad Intakes?
Know all about admissions and intakes abroad
Unlike a single intake in the Indian education system, colleges and universities abroad have various intakes in an academic year. Thus, when you apply for any of the universities in countries like Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand or the UK and US, you can choose from more than one intake each year. For instance, if you missed the Spring intake this year, you can always try for the next intake in January instead of waiting for a complete one year.
What are The Different Kinds Of Intakes?
Most universities and colleges abroad offer two intakes- Fall and Spring. The fall intake usually starts in September (which ends in December) whereas as the Spring intakes begin in January (and ends in May). Certain universities and colleges also offer a minor intake in Summer that begins in April.
Intakes may vary on the basis of the program and institution. In certain institutions, intakes may also be referred to as terms or semesters. You must always check the official website of your preferred institution to confirm the available intake.
Wondering why these universities welcome students in two intakes?
Every university receives thousands of applications each year and it becomes difficult to accommodate a huge crowd in one intake
The universities keep the option available for spring intake considering any constraints due to which a student might not be able to take admission in the fall intake
Confused About Which Intake To Choose?
When choosing which intake to opt for, it is important to consider the availability of your preferred program, your academic records, entrance test scores, acceptance rates, job opportunities and your readiness on joining the course. We recommend you to start with your applications at least 10-12 months before the date of commencement of your program. For the Fall semester, ensure to have your score by April and for Spring, start no later than August.
Let's campare The Two Intakes:
Basis | Fall Intake | Spring Intake |
University | This is available in every university | This intake may or may not be available for some and you might need to check with the university |
Acceptance Rate | You might face severe competition as many students prefer this intake and chances of your application being accepted are minimal | You might not face much competition in this intake as not much students prefer to opt for it due to which acceptance rate of your applications is quite high |
Which Intake Do Indian Students Prefer?
Most Indian students opt for the September intake since it works in line with the completion of school or under-graduation in India. Students going for research programs often prefer the Fall/September intake since many professors choose to start their research in the beginning of the year and thus acquiring an internship or assistantship is easier in this intake than the Spring/January intake.
