Start university in January 2027

Start your degree outside the traditional academic year with our January intake, offering a flexible range of courses to support your academic and career goals.

How it works

How January starts work

Our January intake includes undergraduate degrees and postgraduate master’s courses, many professionally accredited and designed for flexible study.

A January start is perfect if:

  • You want the same qualification and academic standards without waiting until September
  • You are ready to meet your course entry requirements and apply
  • You want to start alongside other January students and take part in university life
  • You need time to arrange accommodation or a Student visa
  • You want a new focus after taking time out, changing plans or deciding your previous course was not right for you.

January applications are open. Browse our courses, check the entry requirements for your chosen course and apply as early as possible, particularly if you need accommodation or a Student visa.

You’ll work towards the same qualification and meet the same academic standards as students who start in September, through a timetable designed for January entry.
