The deadlines for each intake are usually a few months before the start date. It is
highly recommended that you apply early to maximize your chances for admission. Some
universities even offer rolling admissions, i.e. admissions are open through the year.
The major intake for the UK is the Fall intake which offers the highest degree of
competition but also features the largest number of corporate internships.
